Alginate-Based Composites for Corneal Regeneration: The Optimization of a Biomaterial to Overcome Its Limits
For many years, corneal transplantation has been the first-choice treatment for irreversible damage affecting the anterior part of the eye. However, the low number of cornea donors and cases of graft rejection highlighted the need to replace donor corneas with new biomaterials. Tissue engineering pl...
