The Role of Limbal Epithelial Stem Cells in Regulating Corneal (Lymph)angiogenic Privilege and the Micromilieu of the Limbal Niche following UV Exposure

<div>(a) Location of the limbus, the barrier between physiologically hem- and lymph-vascularized conjunctiva and avascular and transparent cornea. Limbal stem cells reside in the limbal region of the ocular surface, along the dotted line. (b) The arrows highlight the vascular plexus which is visible in the conjunctiva and stops at the limbus.</div>
