The conjunctival epithelium consists of epithelial cells and goblet derived from stem/progenitor cells. However, the source these is not well known because no specific markers for have been discovered. Therefore, to identify cell markers, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing a population human-induced pluripotent stem (hiPSCs). following were identified: BST2, SLC2A3, AGR2, TMEM54, OLR1, TRIM29. Notably, BST2 was strongly positive in basal epithelium, which thought be rich Moreover, able...
