Role of Stem Cells in Treatment of Acanthamoebic Corneal Ulcer

Abstract

Regeneration of lost human tissue is well known, the research on regenerative medicine has gained scientific advancements. The growing understanding of biological concepts in the regeneration of ocular tissues as well as experiments on stem cells result in shift in the treatment of corneal diseases. Stem cells have been successfully isolated from variety of human tissues including mesenchymal tissues. Initial evidence from several studies has documented the likely breakthrough that stem cells offer for various life-threatening diseases that have so far defeated modern medical care. So, this research aimed to study the role of stem cells in treatment of Acanthamoebic corneal ulcer
