Scientists explore new solutions for the treatment of severe eye injuries, especially when tissue transplantation from donors is difficult to perform. Researchers are trying to develop artificial materials that can replace affected eye structures, using accessible resources and tissue engineering technologies.
Spanish Scientists Develop Artificial Cornea from Fish Scales
Scientists at the University of Granada (UGR) and the ibs.GRANADA Biomedical Research Institute have developed an artificial cornea made from fish scales, a breakthrough that could offer a new treatment option for patients suffering from serious eye diseases.1 The research team, part of the Tissue Engineering Group in the Department of Histology at UGR’s Faculty of Medicine, has created corneal implants that are highly biocompatible, durable, an…
Researchers and researchers from Spain developed an artificial cornea, which is made of fish scales. This new low-cost biomaterial promises an effective and sustainable alternative to regenerate damaged eye tissues. The study, published in Materials & Design, was led by Ingrid Garzón of the University of Granada, and worked with four species of fish: red scorpion fish, salmon, sargo and carp, the latter being the one that showed the most promisi…
