Research on the construction of corneal endothelium transplantation with acellular amniotic membrane as a scaffold
The HAAM scaffold demonstrated excellent transparency, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility, making it suitable for the attachment and proliferation of HCECs. The effective maintenance of key functional gene expression levels suggests that the HAAM functionally mimics the characteristics of the natural corneal endothelial layer. These findings provide experimental evidence for the potential clinical application of the HAAM in corneal endothelial transplantation, offering a promising therapeutic option for patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction. Further studies are warranted to explore the long-term efficacy and safety of the HAAM in preclinical and clinical settings.
