Cornea Glue: Don't Just Seal, Heal - Cody Tuftee

Corneal scarring causes widespread vision loss and is poorly treated by transplantation alone. This research develops a bioengineered corneal glue that both seals and heals wounds by promoting cell infiltration and reducing fibrosis. The approach enables scar-free healing, lowers transplant rejection risk, and offers a regenerative alternative to sutures and conventional sealants.
