<h4>Purpose</h4>Sex-associated differences have been identified in the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the human cornea.

Our objective in this study was to determine whether such differences exist in human corneal epithelial cells both in vivo and in vitro.<h4>Methods</h4>Human corneal epithelial cells were isolated from the corneoscleral rims of male and female donors. Cells were proce ...[more]
