The article discusses the impact of subconjunctival transplantation of limbal stem cell allografts on the hematology factors in dogs. Topics discussed include the study proving the potential of the cornea as a major source of stem cells for medicinal use, the study involved dogs suffering from chronic thinning of the central cornea, and results proving that the limbal stem cell allografts did not change haematology factors in dogs.

The article presents a study on harvesting porcine limbal transplants in a controlled environment, wherein the stem cells are studied due to their tissue regeneration capabilities. The porcine limbal stem cells are being analyzed in terms of their functioning patterns and have their development conditions enhanced so that a biomedical template will be designed to analyze the advantages of xenografts using porcine tissues. The study concludes that porcine stem cells are suitable as a reparative medicine for both animals and humans.
