Question

injection of cultured cells with ROCK inhibitor for bullous keratopathy

Answer 1

Corneal endothelial cell (CEC) disorders, such as Fuchs’s endothelial corneal dystrophy, induce abnormal corneal hydration and result in corneal haziness and vision loss known as bullous keratopathy. We investigated whether injection of cultured human CECs supplemented with a rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor into the anterior chamber could increase CEC density.
