Ocular Surface Epithelial Cells (OSEC)
- Target
- OSEC
- Molecular classification
- Epithelial Cells, Structural component, Barrier
01
Overview
Ocular surface epithelial cells are specialized, non-keratinized, stratified epithelial cells that form the outermost layers of the cornea and conjunctiva. These cells play a critical role in maintaining ocular surface integrity, transparency, hydration, and protection against environmental insults.
