Figure 5From: Comparison of upstream regulators in human ex vivo cultured cornea limbal epithelial stem cells and differentiated corneal epithelial cellsDifferences in the expression of the cytokines and growth factors coding genes. Heatmap of the transcripts of cytokines- and growth factors- coded genes in LESCs and CECs (A). Selection of significantly and differentially expressed genes of cytokines (B); and differentiation and growth factors (C). In comparison to CECs, the LESCs expressed 37 cytokine and 40 growth factor coding genes in a significantly different manner.Back to article page
