Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Medicine Editorial Team, I am delighted to present a Special Issue on the topic of “Corneal Transplant Immunology”.
Corneal inflammation and vascularisation is the main risk factor for corneal graft rejection. Hereby there is a close interaction between different cell types like dendritic cells, macrophages or T cell with vascular endothelials cell, epithelials cells, neurons and endothelial cells. On the other hand, new therapies have been developed over the last decade to improve corneal graft survival using anti-inflammatory or anti-angiogenic approaches.
This special issue will focus on the interaction of the immune cells with corneal structures and how new therapies can modulate these interactions.
The accepted papers will describe new insights in these areas. This Special Issue accepts high-quality articles containing original research results and case reports, as well as review articles of exceptional merit.
