Single-cell RNA sequencing in cornea research: Insights into limbal stem cells and their niche regulation

Figure 2 Heterogeneity of limbal stem cells in mice. A: The t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding plot of the corneal epithelial cell subpopulations in the mouse limbus. The limbal stem cells are highlighted in red; B: Schematic diagram of the heterogenous limbal stem cells in the mouse limbus. aLSC: Active limbal stem cell; CB: Corneal basal cell; CjB: Conjunctival basal cell; CjS: Conjunctival suprabasal cell; CS: Corneal superficial cell; CW: Corneal wing cell; LS: Limbal superficial cell; M1/M2: Cells in mitosis; qLSC: Quiescent limbal stem cell.
