The corneal epithelium serves to protect the underlying cornea from the external
environment and is essential for corneal transparency and optimal visual function …

The epithelial cell layer that covers the surface of the cornea provides a protective barrier
while maintaining corneal transparency. The rapid and effective turnover of these epithelial …

Corneal transplantation has been proven effective for returning the gift of sight to those
affected by corneal disorders such as opacity, injury, and infections that are a leading cause …

Macrophages are crucial drivers of inflammatory corneal neovascularization and thus are
potential targets for immunomodulatory therapies. We hypothesized that therapeutic use of …

As an integral part of the vascular system, the lymphatic vasculature is essential for tissue
fluid homeostasis, nutritional lipid assimilation and immune regulation. The composition of …

The role of the corneal epithelium and limbus in corneal avascularity and pathological
neovascularization (NV) is not well understood. To investigate the contributions of the …

The study of lymphangiogenesis is an emerging science that has revealed the lymphatic
system as a central player in many pathological conditions including cancer metastasis …
