Cellular therapy of the corneal stroma, with either ocular or extraocular stem cells, has been gaining a lot of interest over the last decade. Multiple publications from different research groups are showing its potential benefits in relation to its capacity to improve or alleviate corneal scars, improve corneal transparency in metabolic diseases by enhancing the catabolism of the accumulated molecules, generate new organized collagen within the host stroma, and its immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory properties. Autologous extraocular stem cells do not require a healthy contralateral eye and they do not involve any ophthalmic procedures for their isolation. Mesenchymal stem cells have been the most widely assayed and have the best potential to differentiate into functional adult keratocytes in vivo and in vitro. While embryonic stem cells have been partially abandoned due to ethical implications, the discovery of the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) has opened a new and very promising field for future research as they are pluripotent cells with the capacity to theoretically differentiate into any cell type, with the special advantage that they are obtained from adult differentiated cells. Cellular delivery into the corneal stroma has been experimentally assayed in vivo in multiple ways: systemic versus local injections with or without a carrier. Encouraging preliminary human clinical data is already available although still very limited, and further research is necessary in order to consolidate the clinical applications of this novel therapeutic line.
