Given their crucial functions, understanding these cells is essential for advancements in ophthalmology and regenerative medicine. The corneal epithelium consists of several layers of cells, primarily composed of keratinocytes. These cells are characterized by their ability to rapidly proliferate and differentiate, ensuring a constant renewal of the epithelial ...
HCEC-12 is a well-established human corneal epithelial cell line derived from human corneal tissue. It plays a crucial role in ocular research, particularly for studies related to corneal physiology, wound healing, and the pathogenesis of various ocular diseases. ...
Investigation of gene expression shifts in keratoconus patients' corneal epithelial tissue, for example, has revealed the cause of this progressive corneal degeneration. In keratoconus epithelium, signaling pathways such as Wnt, Hedgehog, and Notch1 were found to be significantly reduced. ...
