Comparison of upstream regulators in human ex vivo cultured cornea limbal epithelial stem cells and differentiated corneal epithelial cells
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The surface of the human eye is covered by corneal epithelial cells (CECs) which regenerate from a small population of limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs). Cell therapy with LESCs is a non-penetrating treatment for preventing blindness due to LESC deficiency or dysfunction. Our aim was to identify new putative molecular markers and upstream regulators in the LESCs and associated molecular pathways....
