Successful Clinical Implementation of Corneal Epithelial Stem Cell Therapy for Treatment of Unilateral Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
The corneal epithelium is maintained by a population of stem cells known as limbal stem cells (LSCs) due to their location in the basal layer of the outer border of the cornea known as the limbus.… Expand

Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Corneal Epithelial‐Like Cells by In Vitro Replication of the Corneal Epithelial Stem Cell Niche
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent cells capable of differentiating into any cell type of the body. It has long been known that the adult stem cell niche is vital for the maintenance… Expand

Loss of corneal epithelial stem cell properties in outgrowths from human limbal explants cultured on intact amniotic membrane.
BACKGROUND The corneal epithelium is renewed by stem cells located at the limbus, the so-called limbal stem cells (LSCs). Absence, damage or loss of the LSC population leads to the painful and… Expand

The limbal epithelium of the eye--a review of limbal stem cell biology, disease and treatment.
The limbus is a narrow band of tissue that encircles the cornea, the transparent 'window' into the eye. The outermost layer of the cornea is the epithelium, which is necessary for clear vision. The… Expand

Co-expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry genes in the superficial adult human conjunctival, limbal and corneal epithelium suggests an additional route of entry via the ocular surface
Abstract Purpose The high infection rate of SARS-CoV-2 necessitates the need for multiple studies identifying the molecular… Expand
