FBOV'S PAPER AMONG THE BEST PUBLICATIONS OF THE YEAR 2017 BY 'VISION RESEARCH'
The article Human Corneal Endothelial Cell Cultivation From Old Donor Corneas With Forced Attachment, published by Scientific Reports on march 2017 and authored by the authors Parekh, Ahmad, Ruzza and Ferrari (Veneto Eye Bank Foundation, IT, and Moorfields eye hospital, London, UK), has been proposed among the best 10 publications in 2017 in the ophthalomological field by the website European Vision Research.
"The Vision Research community has made its decision to choose the best publications of the year 2017. The ‘Publication of the Year’ reflects the personal choice and preference of the community submitted by its members" editors of the website of European Vision Institute said, "This year we had a tremendous feedback and received suggestions from a variety of countries throughout the world. We are very happy about these results and the enthusiasm of the community. We are very glad to present the top ten papers with the highest scores".
Our paper, regarding endothelial cell cultivation, is ranked eight: "Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEnCs) are responsible for maintaining the transparency of the cornea. Damaged or diseased HCEnCs may cause blindness. Replacement of the diseased cells with a healthy donor endothelium is the only currently available treatment. Tissue-engineering can serve as an alternative to conventional donor corneal transplantation".
