Overview

An ideal serum-free culture system is provided by MatTek’s Normal Human Corneal Epithelial Cells (NHCE) and growth media (NHCE-GM), which are used to study cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, gene regulation, cell differentiation, tissue development, wound healing, and toxic effects on the corneal epithelium.

The progenitor-rich limbal region of whole corneas is used to isolate NHCE cells. The cobblestone morphology of MatTek’s NHCE cells and the positive expression of cytokeratin 3/12, cytokeratin 15, and aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1 are the distinguishing features.

A request can be made for donor-matched corneal keratocytes (NHCK).
