Fate of intrastromal injected adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell and its effects on corneal nerve regeneration: An in vivo confocal microscopy study

Puntos clave

• Enhanced corneal nerve regeneration is observed after intrastromal injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
• Key metrics indicate improved nerve density after treatment, suggesting effective nerve repair mechanisms at play.
• In vivo confocal microscopy confirms the visibility of nerve fibers and their regeneration over time post-treatment.
• The findings highlight the potential of stem cell therapy in promoting healing in corneal injuries, warranting further exploration.
