Human Keratocytes

Research on the Human Keratocytes is essential to the study of corneal stromal dystrophies (e.g., keratoconus), post-surgical corneal haze (PRK complications), infectious keratitis-related stromal melting, diabetic keratopathy, and corneal scarring/trauma. The eye is a complex sensory organ that allows an organism to perceive visual information. It is composed of the eyeball and its accessory structures. The eyeball is the main visual organ, responsible for image formation and phototransduction. The accessory parts include the eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal apparatus, extraocular muscles, and the connective tissue within the orbit, which together protect and enable movement of the eyeball. The Human Keratocytes are to be used with Human Keratocyte Medium (Cat. No. ACM0114). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
