A cocktail of small molecules maintains the stemness and differentiation potential of conjunctival epithelial cells
CONCLUSION: Overall, our culture system can expand the conjunctival epithelial cells and retain their potential to differentiate into mature goblet cells, which provided a promising source of seed cells for conjunctival reconstruction. Furthermore, this system provides new insights for the clinical treatment of ocular surface diseases.PMID:37634570 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtos.2023.08.005
