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

Figure 2

The limbal epithelial stem cells (found in the basal limbal epithelium) divide to produce transient amplifying cells which migrate towards the apical layers of the corneal epithelium and eventually become terminally differentiated [51].
