A Cornea Substitute Derived from Fish Scale: 6-Month Followup on Rabbit Model
Figure 3
Histology revealed the interface of Biocornea and stromal tissue. Asterisk indicates the location of Biocornea and arrow indicated the immune cells. After 1 week implant, some immune cells infiltrate around the Biocornea and exhibit some space in between tissue and implant (a). There was significant decrease of immune cells and tight junction of implant and tissue after 3 months (b). The implant revealed high biocompatibility from disappearance of immune cells and integration of tissue after 6 months (c).
