Front Cover: Development and Characterization of a Structurally Supportive of Hybrid PLGA Decellularized ECM Biomembrane for Ocular Progenitor Cell Anchorage and Epithelial Repair
Year: 2026
Type: paratext
Abstract: The cover illustrates a hybrid biomembrane combining poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with decellularized corneal extracellular matrix (dCECM) for ocular regeneration. Depicted as a bioactive patch within the retinal microenvironment, the biomembrane integrates PLGA structural support with extracellular matrix-derived biological cues, providing a biomimetic platform for ocular progenitor cell adhesion, survival, phenotype maintenance, and potential applications in regenerative medicine and cell therapies.
