Abstract excerpt
The limbal region of the adult cornea contains stem cells which are ultimately responsible for regeneration of the corneal epithelium during wound repair. However, primarily-isolated murine corneal/limbal epithelial cells rapidly senesce on plastic in a serum-free low [Ca(2+)] medium, suggesting only transit amplifying cells are promoted. We developed a novel expansion method by seeding at a low cell density...
