THE STUDY of new blood vessel formation has attracted many investigators. In recent times the process has been studied at some length in cold-blooded animals (Krogh¹) by observation through a transparent integument and in some warm-blooded animals by means of glass chambers inserted in the ears (Sandison,² Clark and Clark and associates³). The cornea has also served for the study of new vessel formation, both in human beings (Augstein,⁴ Brückner,⁵ Koeppe,⁶ Kreiker⁷) and in animals. Of the latter, the most noteworthy studies are those of Ehlers,⁸ emphasizing the morphology of the vessels in the cornea, and of Julianelle and Lamb,⁹ Julianelle and Bishop¹⁰ and Swindle,¹¹ emphasizing the sequence of events which take place during the formation of new vessels.

The cornea has obvious advantages for the study of new vessel formation, since it is a relatively homogeneous tissue and . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
