Indications for penetrating keratoplasty and associated procedures, 1989-1995.

abstract：PURPOSE:Previous studies on the use of human amniotic membrane (HAM) in rabbit stem cell deficiency models have found the new epithelium growing over the HAM to express cornea-specific keratins (K3 and K12) in 40% of the cases, suggesting that HAM may have induced conjunctival epithelial cells to transdifferentiate int...
