Abstract
Maintenance and regeneration of the corneal epithelium relies on unipotent progenitor cells at the corneoscleral limbus, which are regulated by extrinsic factors from their local microenvironment, the stem cell niche. The postulated limbal niche is an anatomically protected site of intimate epithelial-mesenchymal interaction and is highly vascularised, innervated, pigmented due to intraepithelial melanocytes. In addition, the limbal niche is...
