Researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear have, for the first time, identified rapidly proliferating cells (known as «neural crest - derived progenitor cells») in the corneal endothelium of specimens from normal corneas and from corneas with Fuchs» Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a condition in which the cells responsible for keeping the cornea clear die prematurely — often leading to blindness.
