3D Cell-Printed and Non-Printed Corneal Implants

Caption

In vivo (a-c) and in vitro (d-f) evaluation results of 3D cell-printed and non-printed corneal implants. Optical images from slit lamp examination, 2D cross-sectional OCT images (a, d), and SHG images of non-specific collagen (b, e) with Distribution analysis of collagen fibrillar orientation (c, f). In 3D cell-printed group, higher transparency was exhibited compared to non-printed group and corneal stromal pattern by shear-induced collagen alignment was reconstructed similar to that in human cornea.
