Target intelligence / Profile preview

Ocular Surface Cells

Molecular classification: Epithelial Cells, Glandular Epithelia, Immune Cells

Overview

Ocular surface cells encompass the diverse cell populations of the cornea and conjunctiva, including epithelial cells, goblet cells, limbal stem cells, and glandular epithelia. They are essential for maintaining a smooth refractive surface, forming a protective barrier, producing tear film components, and providing immune surveillance. Disruption of these cells can lead to various ocular surface diseases.
