Rescuing cellular function in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy by healthy exogenous mitochondrial internalization
Abstract Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is characterized by an accelerated loss of corneal endothelial cells. Since the function of these cells is to maintain the cornea in a state of deturgescence necessary for its transparency, the depletion of corneal endothelial cells ultimately caus...
