A Niche Window

This image accompanies Medi Eslani’s article “Rebuilding the Niche”, and shows the interaction between limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs; purple) and mesenchymal cells (MSCs; green) in the limbus. In their niche, LESCs interact closely with extracellular matrix components, melanocytes, immune cells, blood vessels, nerves and MSCs. MSCs have a major regulatory role in the LESC’s niche, and in maintaining LESC biology.
