Figure 6

Intra-limbal injection of OFSCs was not a proper route for corneal regeneration. For an intact cornea, repeated intra-limbal (IL) injection of OFSCs was safe (A) but no p63-expressing cells were differentiated from transplanted cells (B). For an extensively damaged cornea, corneal opacity was obvious after repeated IL OFSC injections (C). Quantum dot-labeled transplanted cells were clustered at the injection site, and some were detectable in the central corneal epithelium (D). Only a few OFSCs differentiated into p63-expressing cells at the limbal area seven days after corneal injury (E).
