Scientists of the research group called 'Ingeniería Tisular' of the University of Granada have made the first artificial cornea model using stem cells of rabbit's sclerocorneal limbus. This result is a great advance due to the shortage of donors of this transparent epithelium located in the anterior segment of the eyeball that refracts the incoming light onto the retina. Moreover, these artificial corneas can be a tool for in vitro research into medicine permeability.
