Limbal niche cells can reduce the angiogenic potential of cultivated oral mucosal epithelial cells.
Conclusions: LNCs could substitute 3T3 cells for expanding OMECs in vitro, and the COMECs obtained in this system are less likely to induce postsurgical neovascularization, which provides an alternative option for an ex vivo culture system and promotes the application of COMET.
