Mechanical and functional assessment of decellularized and sterilized porcine corneas. (A–D) Mechanical properties comparison among native human cornea (NHC), native porcine cornea (NPC), decellularized porcine cornea (DPC) and gamma irradiated decellularized porcine cornea (G-DPC). (E–H) Functional characteristic comparison among different cornea samples. (F) Micrographs of water contact angle of different corneas placed on the top of their respective group’s contact angle measurement graph; D-NPC: deepithelialized NPC. (H) For the collagenase study, residual masses are presented against time in hours (h). For all panels, quantitative results were reported as the mean ± S.D. from four independent corneas and results were compared between groups.
