Corneal stroma plays a pivotal role in normal visual function. Anatomically, it is located between the outer epithelium and the inner endothelium and is the thickest layer of the cornea. Keratocytes in the stroma produce a variety of cellular products, including growth factors/cytokines, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and kinases. These products support normal corneal development and homeostasis.
角膜基质在正常视觉功能中起着关键作用。从解剖学角度来看,它位于外层上皮和内层内皮之间,是角膜最厚的一层。基质中的角膜细胞产生多种细胞产物,包括生长因子/细胞因子、细胞外基质(ECM)成分和激酶。这些产物支持角膜的正常发育和内环境稳定。
