Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a condition that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, leading to significant visual impairment. This deficiency occurs when the limbal ...

Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a severe ocular condition where the loss of functioning adult stem cells at the cornea's edge leads to vision impairment due to the invasion of fibrotic ...

Since these tissues are not corneal epithelium and do not possess innate limbal stem cells, it would be interesting to perform longitudinal studies to document the long-term restoration of corneal ...

If the cornea is badly damaged, limbal stem cells can taken from the patient, grown in the lab and then transplanted back on to the patient’s damaged eye, or eyes, in order to restore sight.

The results of early-stage research into a procedure developed to treat limbal stem cell deficiency have been published. The disease is a corneal disorder that can occur after chemical burns and ...

The 51-year-old man from the U-S state of Alabama suffers from limbic stem cell deficiency, a corneal disorder that ... explains that the causes of limbal cell loss can be varied.
