| Abstract: | Background Mesenchymal stem cells can be isolated from various tissues besides bone marrow and can differentiate into cells of three germ layers. Recent studies indicate that some cells in corneal stroma express stem cell markers and can also differentiate into chondrocytes and neurocytes. This study was carried out to investigate whether mesenchymal stem cells reside in the murine corneal stroma. |
