The ocular surface - 1 Jan 2006
Wolosin J Mario
Abstract excerpt
The ocular surface is covered by tworapidly renewing and embryologically-related linings, the corneal and conjunctival epithelia. The long-term survival of thesetissues is ultimately dependent on their respective resident stem cells. In the corneal epithelium, the stem cells and their early precursors are exclusively circumscribed to the narrow vasscularize limbal rim that provides epithelial precursor cells to...
