A single cell atlas of human cornea that defines its development, limbal progenitor cells and their interactions with the immune cells.
Updated July 19, 2022To study the development and composition of human ocular surface, the authors performed single cell (sc) RNA-Seq at key embryonic, fetal and adult stages and generated the first atlas of the corneal and conjunctival cell types from development to adulthood.
