Limbal stem cell

[4] Immediate management aims to limit traumatic or chemical damage to the limbus, control inflammation, and help achieve a healthy corneal epithelium.

1- Holoclones: as true stem cells, have the greatest growth potential, and give rise to 2-meroclones, which have a much lower proliferative capacity, but frequently divide.

In February 2015, the European Commission approved autologous CLET using the stem cell therapy Holoclar for people with severe LSCD due to corneal burns.

The use of p63 transcription factor as a biomarker of potency ensures specified amount of stem cells needed for clinical success.

Clinically relevant long-term beneficial results have been documented in the treatment of patients with LSCD due to physical or chemical ocular burns.
