MatTek’s Normal Human Corneal Epithelial Cells (NHCE) and growth media (NHCE-GM) provide an ideal serum-free culture system to study cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, gene regulation, cell differentiation, tissue development, wound healing, and toxic effects to the corneal epithelium.
NHCE cells are isolated from the progenitor-rich limbal region of whole corneas. MatTek’s NHCE cells are characterized by their cobblestone morphology and positive expression of cytokeratin 3/12, cytokeratin 15 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1.
Donor-matched corneal keratocytes (NHCK) are available upon request.
