In this study, the serum-free media KGM and Pan+ were the most promising. They were subsequently
used for cultivating the Hemicornea construct.

Compositions of these media:

Abbreviation Base medium Supplements
Pan+ Panserin 401 5 g/mL insulin
0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
0.1% cholera toxin
10 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (EGF)
50 U/mL penicillin G sodium salt
