Acellular Porcine Cornea Produced by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction: A Potential Substitute for Human Corneal Regeneration

Conclusions: APC manufactured by SCCO2 technology revealed complete cells and non-collagenous protein removal compared with the Triton–sodium dodecyl sulfate decellularization process. APC showed excellent biocompatibility in rabbit lamellar corneal transplantation with a follow-up to 1 year. APC can be a potential substitute for human-donated cornea for corneal transplantation in the near future.
