Temporal Differences in the Expression of p63α and Proliferation of Limbal Epithelial Stem Cells From Donor Corneas
Although the density of p63α+ LESCs significantly decreases over time, viable LESCs are present in the donor corneas after 7 days in hypothermic storage conditions. Thus, failure of detection or absence of expression of standard marker(s) does not necessarily indicate the loss of functional LESCs.
