Tattoo-Associated Uveitis Journal > /en/journal/2017/1/5
The clinical case of tattoo-associated uveitis was first described by Lubeck and Epstein in 1952. Uveitis is accompanied by induration and hyperemia of tattoo skin, which can precede, follow or manifest simultaneously with uveitis. The diagnosis is determined on clinical grounds after exclusion of other causes. Uveitis is usually bilateral, chronic and vision impairment is variable. Tattoo-associa...
Perspects of the Cell Therapy in Ophthalmology 1. Use of Stem Cells in the Regeneration of Damaged Ocular Surface Journal > /en/journal/2016/1/1
Regeneration of corneal epithelium is secured by a population of limbal stem cells (LSC), which are located in the basal part of the limbal epithelium. Deficiency in LSC leads to chronic inflammation, scarring and conjunctivization of cornea. Therapy of LSC deficiency consists in transplantation of limbal tissue, cultivated limbal epithelium or more recently in tranplantation of autologous cells i...
Perspects of the Cell Therapy in Ophthalmology. 2. The Potential of Stem Cells of Retinal Diseases Treatment Journal > /en/journal/2016/1/2
Retinal diseases represent a large group of hereditary and acquired diseases that often lead to loss of vision. There is currently no effective treatment of retinal degeneration, only supportive therapy is used for treating numerous diseases. Perspective treatment of retinal diseases represent a cell therapy using stem cells. Suitable candidates for the stem cell therapy are mesenchymal stem cells...
