This study identified a subpopulation of neural crest-derived progenitor cells in human corneal endothelial tissue from normal and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy donors, which may have potential for future cell therapy development.

Japanese researchers created new hair follicles from human cells that grew hair when put into mice, and other findings showed a link between eye disease severity and corneal thickness, gene mutations affecting hearing and touch, and the safety of the shingles vaccine for adults over 50.

This study found that LGR5 is uniquely expressed in human corneal endothelial cells and maintains endothelial cell phenotypes while inhibiting mesenchymal transformation through the Wnt pathway.

This study concluded that hair-derived stem cells from older donors may offer a promising alternative for autologous corneal endothelial replacement, potentially benefitting patients of various age groups.

This review discusses cornea-specific keratin expression patterns in human and mouse development and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for investigating keratin mutations' role in pathology.
