This study demonstrated that A-PRP is a viable and effective alternative to bovine serum for the ex vivo expansion of limbal epithelial cells. It also shows that eviscerated corneas are a viable source of donor tissue for this purpose in South Africa where access to tissue banks is limited.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
