IFITM1 / OVOL1 Axis Is a Novel Regulator of the Expansion of the Limbal Epithelial Stem/Early Transient Amplifying Cell Population
15 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs), located in the basal layer of the limbal epithelium, rarely proliferate under normal conditions. Upon proliferation, LESCs give rise to early transient amplifying (eTA) cells, which are thought to be morphologically and phenotypically indistinguishable from LESCs. Following corneal epithelial wounding, LESCs are activated to repair the corneal epithelium via expansion of eTA...
