Abstract
Stem cells are capable of giving rise to progenies with specific functional and morphological traits and, in recent years, extraordinary scientific advances have initiated an era of hope for clinical regenerative strategies and tissue engineering applications. We appraise the potential benefits of human umbilical cord-derived stem cell therapy and consider current approaches to utilize these stem cells in corneal epithelial, stromal, and endothelial disorders.Entities:
