Effect of allogeneic limbal mesenchymal stem cell therapy in corneal healing: role of administration route.

abstract：PURPOSE:To investigate whether different crush durations or a different fluorogold (FG) injection timing can affect the efficiency of FG retrograde labeling of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the optic nerve (ON) crush model. METHODS:We performed the ON crush in rats with a clip at different durations or a jewel forc...
