Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the launch of our upcoming Special Issue ‘New Insights into Corneal Regeneration and Transplantation’, which will feature in the Journal of Clinical Medicine. The cornea, as a vital ocular structure, plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining visual acuity and overall eye health. However, its susceptibility to injury, disease, and degeneration necessitates an in-depth understanding of regenerative therapies and transplantation techniques.
This Special Issue invites contributions from scientists, clinicians and leading experts in the fields of ophthalmology, eye banking, and transplantation, who have conducted pioneering and well-founded research on the intricacies of corneal regeneration and transplantation. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this Special Issue will ensure to provide insights into a wide array of the latest innovative strategies, such as stem cell therapies, tissue-engineered constructs, and immunomodulatory interventions, that have revolutionized the practical applications of corneal treatments. Moreover, we also aim to include studies addressing the challenges of immune rejection, graft survival, and functional restoration, thereby heralding a new era of precision medicine in ocular care.
We sincerely hope that this Special Issue will not only strengthen the knowledge of current advancements in ocular care but also pave the way for novel explorations, fostering improved clinical outcomes and an enhanced quality of life for countless individuals.
