“…PMMA bone cement has been used as a filler for bone cavities and defects, offering structural support and lowering the risk of fractures. PMMA is injected into cracked or weak vertebrae during vertebroplasty to stabilize them and reduce discomfort in patients with osteoporosis [59,60] In the past, PMMA was utilized to make intraocular lenses (IOLs), but it has now been replaced with more contemporary materials, such as silicone, because of its better properties [61,62]. PMMA is also used to fabricate contact lenses and keratoprostheses.…”

“…Exosomes are internalized by recipient cells in the local microenvironment or transported to distant regions via the circulatory system. The uptake of exosomes by target cells can occur through three main mechanisms: (1) interactions between ligands and receptors, (2) endocytosis by the recipient cells, and (3) direct fusion with the cell membrane [147] (Figure 3). Once the exosomes have merged with the recipient cells, their contents are released into the cytoplasmic space.…”

“…The human eye is a highly complex organ that has a crucial role in our life, but unfortunately, it is susceptible to a broad spectrum of disorders. Despite the challenges, there have been numerous efforts to address a wide range of eye diseases [ 1 ]. The current therapeutic approaches for treating corneal disorders include anti-inflammatory drugs, limbal stem cell (LSC) transplantation, and corneal transplantation [ 2 ].…”
