Increased Corneal Epithelial Turnover Contributes to Abnormal Homeostasis in the Pax6(+/−) Mouse Model of Aniridia

We aimed to test previous predictions that limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) are quantitatively deficient or qualitatively defective in Pax6(+/−) mice and decline with age in wild-type (WT) mice. Consistent with previous studies, corneal epithelial stripe patterns coarsened with age in WT mosaics...
