Sphere formation from corneal keratocytes and phenotype specific markers.

Experimental eye research - 1 Dec 2011

Scott Sherri-Gae, Jun Albert S, Chakravarti Shukti

Abstract excerpt

The keratocytes are specialized mesenchymal cells that produce and maintain the extracellular matrix of the corneal stroma. With a typical dendritic and flattened appearance, these cells can morph into fibroblasts and myofibroblasts upon injury, and produce abnormal or fibrotic extracellular matrices detrimental to corneal transparency. Insights into mechanisms that regulate these phenotypic switches and optimal...
