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.
