Identification and Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from the Trabecular Meshwork of the Human Eye
25 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been isolated from several adult human tissues. Their propensity to differentiate into cell types of connective tissue, such as osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes, suggests that MSC may function as a reserve of progenitor cells that repair and maintain healthy adult tissues. Dysfunction of the trabecular meshwork (TM), a connective tissue at the anterior region of the human...
