Corneal Epithelium: Transport and Permeability

摘要: Normal vision depends on corneal refractive power and the ability of this tissue to remain transparent. For cornea retain these properties, its epithelial layer must undergo continuous renewal. This process protects underlying stroma from environmental pathogen infiltration followed by losses in transparency. We describe here how different types receptors modulate through second messenger-signaling control ion-transporter function cell-membrane permeability. Such regulation is requisite maintenance transparency These ongoing studies are importance for delineating strategies restore a clinical setting.
