Characterization of cornea donors at a tissue center in the city of Medellin, Colombia.
The cornea transplant is considered the most frequently performed type of transplant in the world, with a demand that has been increasing in recent years. An observational descriptive study was conducted, focusing on the ocular tissue extracted from cadaveric donors from January 2019 to December 2021 at the Red Cross Eye Bank in Medellin, Colombia. This is the first epidemiological characterization of corneal donor tissues within the eye banks of our city, where high rates of violence-related deaths explain that tissue donors are mostly young individuals. This, in turn, results in excellent counts of endothelial cells and tissue viability in their microscopic studies. Additionally, there are lower rates of discarded tissues compared to similar studies.
期刊介绍:
Cell and Tissue Banking provides a forum for disseminating information to scientists and clinicians involved in the banking and transplantation of cells and tissues. Cell and Tissue Banking is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original papers in the following areas:
basic research concerning general aspects of tissue banking such as quality assurance and control of banked cells/tissues, effects of preservation and sterilisation methods on cells/tissues, biotechnology, etc.; clinical applications of banked cells/tissues; standards of practice in procurement, processing, storage and distribution of cells/tissues; ethical issues; medico-legal issues.
