- Formation of corneal endothelium is essential for anterior segment development - a transgenic mouse model of anterior segment dysgenesis.
- The corneal endothelium is a specialized epithelial monolayer of neural crest-derived cells, that through its ion transport activity, regulates the degree of corneal stromal hydration and consequently, corneal clarity.
- The corneal endothelium is responsible for maintaining the hydration of the cornea.
- The corneal endothelium is a hexagonal cell monolayer that does not divide significantly.
- The calculated hydraulic conductivity of the endothelium plus stroma was about the same as that of stroma alone, and it was concluded that the hydraulic conductivity of corneal endothelium is large compared to corneal stroma.
