Abstract

The LSCN contains HA/HC complexes, which have been previously correlated with stem cell niches. The identification of HA/HC complexes in the LSCN could serve as a new therapeutic avenue for treating corneal pathology. Additionally, HA/HC complexes could be used as a substrate for culturing LESCs before LESC transplantation.
