Characterization of Human Transition Zone Reveals a Putative Progenitor-Enriched Niche of Corneal Endothelium
12 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
The corneal endothelium regulates corneal hydration to maintain the transparency of cornea. Lacking regenerative capacity, corneal endothelial cell loss due to aging and diseases can lead to corneal edema and vision loss. There is limited information on the existence of corneal endothelial progenitors. We conducted ultrastructural examinations and expression analyses on the human transition zone (TZ) at the...
