Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is a field of science that combines biological, engineering, and medical sciences and allows the development of disease models, drug development and gene therapy studies, and even cellular or tissue-based treatments developed by engineering methods. The eye is an organ that is easily accessible and amenable to engineering applications, paving the way for TE in ophthalmology. TE studies are being conducted on a wide range of topics, including the tear film, eyelids, cornea, optic nerve, glaucoma, and retinal diseases. With the rapid scientific advances in the field, it seems that TE is radically modifying the management of ocular disorders.
组织工程(TE)是一个结合了生物、工程和医学科学的科学领域,可以通过工程方法开发疾病模型、进行药物开发和基因治疗研究,甚至开发基于细胞或组织的治疗方法。眼部是一个易于获取和工程应用的器官,这为眼科学中的 TE 铺平了道路。目前正在对泪膜、眼睑、角膜、视神经、青光眼和视网膜疾病等广泛主题进行 TE 研究。随着该领域科学的飞速发展,TE 似乎正在从根本上改变眼部疾病的治疗方法。
期刊介绍:
The Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology (TJO) is the only scientific periodical publication of the Turkish Ophthalmological Association and has been published since January 1929. In its early years, the journal was published in Turkish and French. Although there were temporary interruptions in the publication of the journal due to various challenges, the Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology has been published continually from 1971 to the present. The target audience includes specialists and physicians in training in ophthalmology in all relevant disciplines.
