Plasticity of ocular surface epithelia: Using a murine model of limbal stem cell deficiency to delineate metaplasia and transdifferentiation
20 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
Maintaining corneal health and transparency are necessary pre-requisites for exquisite vision, a function ascribed to stem cells (SCs) nestled within the limbus. Perturbations to this site or depletion of its SCs results in limbal SC deficiency. While characterizing a murine model of this disease, we discovered unusual transformation phenomena on the corneal surface including goblet cell metaplasia (GCM),...
