limbal epithelial stem cell of cornea
limbal epithelial stem cell of cornea
"A stem cell that is part of the corneo-scleral limbus. This cell type resides at the basal layer of the epithelium and has a small size and high nuclear to cytoplasmatic ratio (Secker and Daniels, 2009). A limbal stem cell is responsible for corneal epithelial renewal and repair (Li et al., 2023), and to help maintain a clear corneal surface by preventing conjunctival epithelial cells from migrating onto the cornea (Wang et al., 2023)."
