tailieunhanh - A new isolation method of human lacrimal canaliculus epithelial stem cells by maintaining close association with their niche cells

The lacrimal canaliculus epithelium of 6 patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) caused by alkali burn or Stevens Johnson Syndrome were examined by lacrimal endoscope. Cadaveric eyelids were fixed and prepared for cross section and stained with HE and antibodies against PCK, Vim, p63α, SCF and c-Kit. | A new isolation method of human lacrimal canaliculus epithelial stem cells by maintaining close association with their niche cells
