title: Effect of transplantation of cultured human neural stem and progenitor cells on regeneration of the cornea after chemical burn.
abstract: We studied the effect of cultured human fetal (8-12 weeks gestation) neural stem and progenitor cells on regeneration of rabbit cornea after alkaline burn. A single subconjunctival injection of cell culture suspension after burn injury significantly accelerated regeneration of the anterior and posterior epithelium in comparison with the control group.
