Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the expression and role of the Wnt signaling pathway in human limbal stem cells (LSCs). METHODS: Total RNA was isolated from the human limbus and central cornea. Limbal or cornea-specific transcripts were identified through quantitative real-time PCR. Protein expression of Wnt molecules was confirmed by immunohistochemistry on human ocular tissue. Activation of Wnt signaling using lithium...
