Limbal epithelial stem cell activity and corneal epithelial cell cycle parameters in adult and aging mice
Limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) are believed to be responsible for corneal epithelial maintenance and repair after injury, but their activity has never been properly quantified in aging or wounded eyes. In this study, labelling with thymidine analogues, 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IdU), 5-chloro-2′...
