The cornea is made up of five layers: the epithelium, Bowman's layer, stroma, Descemet's membrane and endothelium. The outermost layer, the epithelium, is a very thin but tough surface that ...

These models include humanized stem cell-derived in vitro systems that recreate the epithelial cell layer makeup and morphology. 2 Towards this end, scientists increasingly employ monolayer systems.

AFTER studying the existence of the semi-squamous epithelial layer in the gastric and intestinal mucosæ of different mammals, we were curious to know if a similar layer was present in the ...
