Corneal epithelial stem cells: deficiency and regulation.

Stem cell reviews - 1 Sept 2008

Secker Genevieve A, Daniels Julie T

Abstract excerpt

The corneal epithelium is continuously renewed by a population of stem cells that reside in the corneoscleral junction, otherwise known as the limbus. These limbal epithelial stem cells (LESC) are imperative for corneal maintenance with deficiencies leading to in-growth of conjunctival cells, neovascularisation of the corneal stroma and eventual corneal opacity and visual loss. One such disease that has...
