The vertebrate corneal epithelium: From early specification to constant renewal
18 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cornea is an ectodermal/neural crest derivative formed through a cascade of molecular mechanisms to give rise to the specific optical features necessary for its refractory function. Moreover, during cornea formation and maturation, epithelial stem cells are sequestered to ensure a constant source for renewal in the adult. RESULTS: Recent progress in the molecular and stem cell biology of corneal...
