Björkblom, B., Eidet, J. R., Utheim, T. P., Ulltveit-Moe, H. F., & Raeder, S. (2016). Xenobiotic-and serum-free culture of oral mucosal epithelial cells on contact lenses. Current eye research, 41(1), 20-27. In this study, the potential of expanding oral mucosal epithelial cells (OMECs) in a xenobiotic- and serum-free medium using therapeutic contact lenses (CLs) as a substrate and carrier is investigated. The authors conclude that the use of therapeutic CLs has potential as a substrate and carrier for OMEC cultured in a xenobiotic- and serum-free culture system. CnT-24 medium is a commercial product. The precise formulation is proprietary. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.3109/02713683.2015.1004720?needAccess=true |
