Abstract
A method of generating a population of corneal epithelial cells is disclosed. The method comprises culturing human pluripotent stem cells in corneal fibroblast-conditioned medium on a solid surface comprising an extracellular matrix component thereby generating the population of corneal epithelial cells. Isolated cell populations and corneal tissues are also disclosed, as well as uses thereof.
