Corneal diseases and blindness can result from deficiency in limbal stem cells, and autologous transplantation is often the only therapeutic option. Two recent studies in Nature have provided insights into regulation of limbal stem cell function and corneal regeneration and present new opportunities for clinical interventions in eye diseases.

Abstract
Corneal diseases and blindness can result from deficiency in limbal stem cells, and autologous transplantation is often the only therapeutic option. Two recent studies in Nature have provided insights into regulation of limbal stem cell function and corneal regeneration and present new opportunities for clinical interventions in eye diseases.
