Discovery of molecular markers to discriminate corneal endothelial cells in the human body.

Discovery of molecular markers to discriminate corneal endothelial cells in the human body.

The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of hexagonal corneal endothelial cells (CECs) on the inner surface of the cornea. CECs are critical in maintaining corneal transparency through their barrier and pump functions. CECs in vivo have a limited capacity in proliferation, and loss of a significant nu...
