The author described in this book the discoveries in his laboratory that led to therapy with cultured cells. The first cultured cell type used for therapy was the keratinocyte of the epidermis, for the treatment of burns. Subsequent developments led to the use of cultured cells for the treatment of diseases of the eye, of the joints and for other diseases. Cultured cells for therapy are now being prepared by industries in the US, Japan and Korea and are used in the aforesaid countries as well as France, Sweden and Greece, for the treatment of disease. In addition to keratinocytes, therapeutic use has been made of many cultured cell types, such as ocular limbal cells, chondrocytes and melanocytes. In addition to these cell types, which must be autologous, use has also been made of allogeneic keratinocytes to promote healing.
