... of oxygen on mitotic activity of human corneal epithelium a cell proliferation ELISA was performed. Human corneal epithelial cells (HCE-T) were cultured to confluence in 20% oxygen, trypsinized, replated and immediately placed into either a 2% or a 20% oxygen environment. Cells maintained in 20% oxygen...

... Corneal epithelium Hyperproliferation Stem cells, postulated to exist in all self-renewing tissues, serve as the reserve for cell proliferation where they maintain the balance between cell production and cell loss ( Lajtha, 1979 ; Leblond, 1981 ; Miller et al., 1993a ; Potten and Morris, 1988...

... fields which arise in an injured corneal epithelium. Single cells cultured in media containing 10% foetal bovine serum showed significant galvanotropism, reorienting to lie perpendicular to electric field vector with a threshold field strength of less than 100 mV/mm. Cells cultured in serum-free medium...

... in the limbal zone. In rats 1 day to 1 week of age, the corneal epithelium consisted of one or two layer of cells that were intensely labeled by anti-epidermal growth factor receptor. Following epithelial stratification, which occurred just prior to eyelid opening (∼12 days), expression of epidermal growth...

...Shigeo Takeuchi ABSTRACT The changes in the alignment of F-actin bundles in epithelial cells were studied, mainly using NBD-phallacidin, as the isolated corneal epithelium started to spread along the surface of Millipore filter. The epithelial cells at the margin were found to make the transition...
