Single-Cell Transcriptomics Identifies a Unique Entity and Signature Markers of Transit-Amplifying Cells in Human Corneal Limbus

Abstract

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we have identified a unique TAC entity and uncovered a group of cell cycle-dependent genes that serve as TAC signature markers. The findings provide insight into ASCs and TACs and lay the foundation for understanding corneal homeostasis and diseases.
