Abstract
The eyes are one of the most important sensory organs in the human body. Currently, diseases such as limbal stem cell deficiency, cataract, retinitis pigmentosa and dry eye seriously threaten the quality of people's lives, and the treatment of advanced blinding eye disease and dry eye is ineffective and costly. Thus, new treatment modalities are urgently needed to improve patients' symptoms and suffering. In recent years, stem cell-derived three-dimensional structural organoids have been shown to mimic specific structures and functions similar to those of organs in the human body. Currently, 3D culture systems are used to construct organoids for different ocular growth and development models and ocular disease models to explore their physiological and pathological mechanisms. Eye organoids can also be used as a platform for drug screening. This paper reviews the latest research progress in regard to eye organoids (the cornea, lens, retina, lacrimal gland, and conjunctiva).
期刊介绍：
The primary goal of Experimental Eye Research is to publish original research papers on all aspects of experimental biology of the eye and ocular tissues that seek to define the mechanisms of normal function and/or disease. Studies of ocular tissues that encompass the disciplines of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, immunology or microbiology are most welcomed. Manuscripts that are purely clinical or in a surgical area of ophthalmology are not appropriate for submission to Experimental Eye Research and if received will be returned without review.
