Limbal Stem Cell Function

Limbal Stem Cell Function is a biological construct that refers to the capacity of stem cells residing in the limbus to maintain corneal epithelial homeostasis through self-renewal and regulated differentiation into transient amplifying cells, thereby ensuring corneal wound healing and preventing conjunctivalization.
