Myofibroblast Differentiation of Normal Human Keratocytes and hTERT, Extended-Life Human Corneal Fibroblasts

25 Apr 2003

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether TGFbeta induces myofibroblast differentiation in cultured human keratocytes and in telomerase (hTERT)-immortalized human corneal fibroblast cell lines. METHODS: Normal human corneal keratocytes were isolated from donor corneas of various ages and grown under serum-free (cultured keratocytes) or serum-added (corneal fibroblasts) conditions. Corneal...
