Corneal Taurus

Corneal corpuscles are a special type of cell that is found in the cornea of ​​the eye. They play an important role in protecting the eye from damage and infection. In this article we will talk about what corneal cells are, what functions they perform and how they can help in the treatment of various eye diseases.

Corneal cells are derived from the cells of the basal layer of the epithelium. Skin cells form on the basement membrane, then migrate into keratoblasts. These keratoblasts undergo secondary differentiation to form UV-resistant cells, which begin to serve as the metabolic center of the cornea. The migration mechanism and processes leading to degeneration are still unknown. However, it is known that the stroma forms many lines of cell migration in the corneal layer.

Of particular interest are the structural and functional properties of corneal bodies. They produce a substance that resembles mucin in its properties, increase the secretion of mucin by epithelial cells and, as a result, increase the transparency of the cornea and the total refraction of the eye by reducing the protein concentration. They regulate proteolytic enzymes involved in the destruction of proteoglycans and extracellular matrix during aging. They belong to glycoproteins and are important
