About The Cover

Online Cover This week features a Research Article that identifies a paracrine signaling circuit between corneal epithelial cells and fibroblasts that is required for the healing of corneal wounds that disrupt the basal lamina. The image is a transmission electron micrograph of a human cornea showing the basal lamina that separates the epithelium from the underlying stroma. [Image: Don W. Fawcett/Science Source]
