Cornea is the outermost surface of the eye that refracts light to the lens and protects the sensitive ocular machinery. The cornea is divided to three cellular compartments; epithelium, stroma and endothelium. Our work focuses on the corneal epithelium, which is located closest to the tear film and, together with the film, forms a physiological barrier to pathogens and small particles from the environment. We followed the maturation of the mouse corneal epithelium from birth to adulthood and discovered a novel marker, Krt19, in this process. Krt19 expression gradually restricted from the central cornea to the limbus, concomitantly with eyelid opening and epithelial stratification, which are the hallmarks of postnatal maturation of the murin...
