Abstract excerpt
The limbal niche in the corneoscleral junction of the eye, habitat of the limbal epithelial stem cells (LESC), facilitates corneal epithelial regeneration by providing physical support and chemical signalling. Anatomical structures within the limbus, namely, limbal epithelial crypts and focal stromal projections, are believed to function as a putative niche for LESCs. In this study, the impact of age on the...
