Corneal Epithelial Cells
- Molecular classification
- Cellular component, Epithelial cells
01
Overview
Corneal epithelial cells are the outermost layer of the cornea, providing a protective barrier against the environment and maintaining corneal transparency. These cells undergo constant renewal and are crucial for wound healing. Their dysfunction contributes to various corneal diseases and complications following surgical procedures.
