A role for topographic cues in the organization of collagenous matrix by corneal fibroblasts and stem cells.

A role for topographic cues in the organization of collagenous matrix by corneal fibroblasts and stem cells.

Human corneal fibroblasts (HCF) and corneal stromal stem cells (CSSC) each secrete and organize a thick stroma-like extracellular matrix in response to different substrata, but neither cell type organizes matrix on tissue-culture polystyrene. This study compared cell differentiation and extracellula...
