Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a common sight-threatening condition characterised by pathological changes in the posterior cornea. Here we report observations by light, transmission and volume scanning electron microscopy on changes in the endothelium and matrix associated with the characteristic deformations of Descemet's membrane, termed guttae. Specimens were archived full-thickness human corneal tissue, removed during graft surgery, that had been fixed, stained and embedded by conventional processing methods for examination by transmission electron microscopy more than 40-years previously.

Corneal endothelial cells, situated on the innermost layer of the cornea, are vital for maintaining its clarity and thickness by regulating fluid. In this study, we investigated the differences in the transcriptome between young and old corneal endothelial cells using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Cultured endothelial cells from both young and elderly donors were subjected to NGS to unravel the transcriptomic landscape.

The cornea, the anterior meniscus-shaped transparent and refractive structure of the eyeball, is the first mechanical barrier of the eye. Its functionality heavily relies on the health of its endothelium, its most posterior layer. The treatment of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) deficiency is allogeneic corneal graft using stored donor corneas.
