角膜是坚韧的透明组织，光线首先通过它进入眼睛，起到阻挡碎片和感染的作用，同时也是眼睛屈光能力的三分之二。如果角膜损伤得不到及时治疗，往往会导致结疤和视力障碍。由于目前治疗角膜瘢痕的选择有限，角膜中干细胞的鉴定和分离受到了极大的关注，因为它们可能成为治疗受损角膜组织的自体、基于细胞的方法。
The cornea is the tough, transparent tissue through which light first enters the eye and functions as a barrier to debris and infection as well as two-thirds of the refractive power of the eye. Corneal damage that is not promptly treated will often lead to scarring and vision impairment. Due to the limited options currently available to treat corneal scars, the identification and isolation of stem cells in the cornea has received much attention, as they may have potential for autologous, cell-based approaches to the treatment of damaged corneal tissue.
