CORNEAL ABRASION

INTRODUCTION

Corneal Abrasion: A scratch or scrapes on your cornea’s surface. Corneal abrasions are frequently caused by fingernails, cosmetics brushes, and tree branches.

​CORNEAL ABRASION ABRASION

A corneal abrasion is a scratch or scrapes on your cornea’s surface. Corneal abrasions are frequently caused by fingernails, cosmetics brushes, and tree branches.Other causes of corneal abrasion include rubbing your eyes and having particularly dry eyes.

The cornea is densely packed with nerve cells. Pain receptor cells transmit pain to alert us to possible injury to the eye’s surface. Our cornea has hundreds of times more pain receptors than our skin.

SYMPTOMS SYMPTOMS

  • If you’ve scratched your eye before, you’ll probably remember how it feels. If not, you might:
    • Feel like you have sand or grit in your eye
    • Have pain, especially when you open or close your eye
    • Notice tearing and redness
    • Become sensitive to light
    • Have blurred vision

WHAT CAUSES THE DISEASE? DISEASE?

​You might get a scratch if you:

    • Poke your eye with a fingernail, pen, or makeup brush
    • Get dirt, sand, sawdust, ash, or some other foreign matter in your eye
    • Get chemicals in your eye
    • Rub it too hard
    • Wear poor-fitting or dirty contact lenses
    • Get a certain type of eye infection
    • Have surgery without proper eye protection
    • Play sports or engage in high-risk physical activity without safe eyewear
    • Overwear your contact lenses

You may not feel symptoms right away. As a result, you may not be able to figure out what caused it.

WHAT WE OFFER? OFFER?

EXOSOME RESEARCH - CELLTIX CELLTIX

CelltiX is a type of extracellular vesicle from Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility. It is a novel form of a major paracrine factor released by MSCs into a culture medium, which plays an important role in a wide range of biological processes.

STEM CELL RESEARCH - CELLTIMAX CELLTIMAX

CelltiMax is a product derived from human umbilical cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). The cells are cultured, then administered to the patient via intramuscular or intravenous injection.

The cells have low immunogenicity making them safe, well-tolerated and free of side effects. They have the ability to differentiate into specialized cells with specific functions for various parts of the body, and can reduce inflammation, repair, renew, regenerate, and replace damaged cells.

CELLULAR RESEARCH - SCITRON SCITRON

Scitron is a Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), derived from human umbilical cords. Upon treatment, the cultured cells are injected intramuscularly or intravenously into the patient. The cells are characterized by low immunogenicity, making them very safe, tolerable, and free of side effects.

COMPARISON BETWEEN STEM CELLS AND EXOSOMES AND EXOSOMES

​CRITERIAS

​STEM CELLS

​EXOSOME

​Definition

Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human body.

Extracellular vesicles, which is the medical term for tiny bubbles that are released from stem cells.

Function

Unique, can become any type of cell, and they act as both building blocks and repair mechanisms in your body.

Carry genetic information and proteins to cells throughout your body, and they create paths for communication between cells.

​Origins

Donor stem cells are placed in your body and are guided into becoming specific cells in the body to replace and repair diseased cells.

Exosomes are extracted from donated human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and sterilized.

​Growth Factors

Less amount of growth factors compared to exosomes.

Exosomes contain nearly three times the amount of growth factors. More growth factors mean a better ability to restore and revitalize target cells.

​Administration

  • IV Stem Cell Research (Intravenous administration)
  • Intrathecal (directly into the spinal canal)
  • Site injections into problem areas (Knee, hips, hands, etc)
  • Intravenous (IV) research
  • Direct injection in the treatment area

HOW IT WORKS WORKS

484056305

Subconjunctival injection of mesenchymal stem cells for corneal failure due to limbal stem cell deficiency.

​MSC differentiation and paracrine signaling via exosomes are widely used to mediate these effects. Exosomes’ cell-free nature allows them to avoid problems with cell-fate control and tumorigenesis, and the vesicle content can be genetically modified for optimal therapeutic affinity. The current research focus is on pharmacology and toxicology, xeno-free processing with sustained delivery, scale-up production in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, and cost-effectiveness. Injection, topical, and/or engineered bioscaffold administration routes are also being investigated for their potential use in treating corneal diseases.
