Abstract | Corneal transplantation is the gold standard treatment for corneal-related blindness; however, this strategy faces challenges such as limited donor cornea, graft rejection, suture-related complications, and the need for specialized equipment and advanced surgical skills. Development of tissue adhesives for corneal regeneration is of great clinical value. However, currently available corneal tissue sealants pose challenges, such as lack of safety, biocompatibility, and desired mechanical properties. To meet these requirements simultaneously, a bovine stromal corneal extracellular matrix (dCor) was used to design a bioadhesive photocurable hydrogel based on gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels (dCor/Gel-PEG). Integration of dCor into the dual networks of GelMA and PEGDA (Gel-PEG) led to a bioadhesive hydrogel for curing corneal defects, which could be crosslinked by Irgacure 2959 within 5 min ultraviolet irradiation. The viability of corneal stromal stem cells (CSSCs) was improved on the dCor/Gel-PEG hydrogel in comparison to the Gel-PEG hydrogel. The gene expression profile supported the keratocyte differentiation of CSSCs seeded on dCor/Gel-PEG |
