Overview
Many ocular pathologies either originate from or result in impaired healing processes, leading to visual impairment or blindness due to dysfunction or loss of transparency in the affected tissues. The most commonly involved structures are the cornea (neurotrophic keratitis, ocular burns, limbal stem cell deficiency, post-infectious, inflammatory or post-surgical scars) and the retina (vitreoretinal proliferations associated with retinal detachment, diabetes, radiation damages, macular holes or macular scars from age-related macular degeneration). In this context, the topic "Wound healing and advanced therapy medicinal products in ophtalmology" aims to develop new therapeutic solutions capable of modulating deficient or abnormal healing processes.
