Abstract
Engineering corneal tissue has advanced significantly in recent years. Engineering a biocompatible, mechanically stable, and optically clear tissue presents significant engineering hurdles. Two fundamental strategies have been explored by scholars to address these issues: cell-based methods for controlling cells their own extracellular matrix and scaffold-based methods for supplying dense, transparent matrices for cell growth. Both approaches have had some level of success. Additionally, new developments in innervating a tissue-engineered construct have been developed. Future research must concentrate on enhancing the mechanical stability of engineered constructions and the host reaction to implantation. Type 1 Collagen Biomaterial has been used for the construction of scaffolds or implantation for the cornea repair. Various methods for fabrication of the scaffolds have been described and mentioned tissue engineering application for cornea repair and regeneration. Given this correspondence, the type 1 collagen was a potential biomaterial for tissue engineering scaffold fabrication for effective regeneration of cornea.
