Overview

Corneal epithelial stem cells are specialized cells that are found at the surface of the outermost layer of the eyeball, known as the cornea. These stem cells are responsible for maintaining and regenerating the cornea, which is essential for providing a clear window of vision. Recent studies have shown that these cells possess the potential to be used in regenerative therapies to treat a wide range of ocular diseases and disorders, such as corneal injuries, ulcers, chemical burns, and degenerative conditions. This makes corneal epithelial stem cells a promising therapeutic option in the field of ophthalmology.
