Short Description The SkinEthicTM HCE model is composed of transformed human corneal keratinocytes cultivated on an inert polycarbonate filter at the air liquid interface in a chemically defined medium. The reconstructed tissue forms a stratified and well organized epithelium which is structurally, morphologically and functionnally similar to the human cornea with presence of basal, wing and mucus production cells.
