Limbal stromal cells derived from porcine tissue demonstrate mesenchymal characteristics in vitro

Abstract Limbal stromal cells (LSCs) from the human ocular surface display mesenchymal stromal cell characteristics in vitro. In this study, we isolated cells from the porcine limbal stroma (pLSCs), characterised them, and evaluated their ability to support angiogenesis and the culture of porcine li...
