| Core Tip |
This review article evaluates the evidence for different hypotheses that have been proposed to explain how the corneal epithelium is maintained. It identifies core observations in favour of the conventional limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) hypothesis and an alternative corneal epithelial stem cell hypothesis and describes how lineage-tracing experiments are helping to reconcile the two sets of conflicting evidence in favour of the LESC hypothesis. |
