The presence of ciliated cells has been demonstrated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy in corneal endothelium. This study has been carried out on human cornea in normal and pathological cases and on rabbit's normal cornea. Another study has been lead on regeneration of endothelium after freeze destruction. The cilia cells described have a normal structure. The cilia has nine peripheral groups of tubules without any tubule in the center. The cilia seem to be more numerous in case of corneal disease and during the regeneration of corneal endothelium. The authors compare the presence of ciliated cells in different tissues. This suggest that the potency to form single cilia is present in almost every kind of tissue but there is no proof of their pathological importance. In the corneal endothelium, as in the kidney, cilia seem to have no function of fluid transportation but the possibility for cilia to be a receptor is discussed.
通过扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜已证实角膜内皮中存在纤毛细胞。本研究对正常和病理情况下的人角膜以及兔的正常角膜进行。另一项研究针对冷冻破坏后内皮的再生展开。所描述的纤毛细胞结构正常。纤毛有九组外周微管，中央无任何微管。在角膜疾病及角膜内皮再生过程中，纤毛似乎更多。作者比较了不同组织中纤毛细胞的存在情况。这表明几乎每种组织都有形成单个纤毛的能力，但尚无证据证明其病理重要性。在角膜内皮中，如同在肾脏中一样，纤毛似乎没有液体运输功能，但有人讨论了纤毛作为受体的可能性。
