Laminin-511 and -521-based matrices for efficient ex vivo-expansion of human limbal epithelial progenitor cells
Abstract Optimization of culture conditions for human limbal epithelial stem/progenitor cells (LEPC) that incorporate the in vivo cell-matrix interactions are essential to enhance LEPC ex vivo-expansion and transplantation efficiency. Here, we investigate the efficacy of laminin (LN) isoforms prefer...
