We have established a novel culture system to induce the formation of corneal epithelium through the spontaneous development of ocular cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). The hiPSC derived-corneal epithelial cells (hiCECs) can be purified by FACS with specific antibodies and have the ability to reconstruct functional corneal epithelium expressing p63, K12, and PAX6.
Keywords
