The Institute has developed a biomedical cell product (BCP) "Human corneal limbus epithelial stem cells" and a method of cell therapy in the treatment of keratitis and corneal dystrophies with its use. The Institute offers services for the treatment of diseases using the developed BCP under an outsourcing agreement.

This biomedical cell product (BCP) is produced on the basis of autologous limbal epithelial stem cells (LESC) isolated from the patient's keratolimbal flap and cultured until a therapeutic dose is received.

Transplantation of BCP based on LESC is indicated for mechanical injuries, radiation and chemical burns of the cornea, recurrent corneal erosions, chronic keratitis, and keratitopathies of various origins (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, cicatricial pemphigoid, trachoma, congenital aniridia, etc.).

Local administration of cultured LESCs as part of complex cell therapy compensates for limbal insufficiency and ensures stable regeneration of the corneal epithelium, maintaining its regenerative properties for a long time, including for subsequent successful corneal transplantation.

The Institute offers services for the treatment of diseases using the developed biomedical cell product "Human corneal limbus epithelial stem cells" under an outsourcing agreement.

The use of BCP in clinical practice increases the effectiveness of existing treatment methods, does not cause complications and side effects.

Over the past 10 years, the Institute has carried out a number of international contracts and agreements within the framework of the Framework Programs of the European Union, as well as with leading research centers, foundations, societies:
