General description
Human Corneal Epithelial Cells may be used for studies of cell-matrix interactions, gene regulation and tissue development, drug development, and validation of alternative methods in toxicology. The Human Corneal Epithelial Cells are cryopreserved as secondary cells. The cells have been isolated from human corneal tissue and expanded twice in culture vessels before being harvested for cryopreservation. This product is for Research Use Only. This product is not approved for human or veterinary use, or for use in in vitro diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Impaired regeneration of the corneal epithelium, as found in many ocular surface diseases, is a major clinical problem in ophthalmology. We hypothesized that corneal epithelial regeneration can be promoted by the physiological, energy-delivering as well as "morphogenetically active" polymer, inorganic
