The two fates of limbal epithelial progenitor cells during ex vivo expansion on iAM. The first fate involves the migration of some limbal epithelial progenitor cells from the explant onto the iAM. The second involves invasion of some limbal epithelial progenitor cells into the limbal stroma. The latter process involves degradation of the basement membrane and eventual EMT into fibroblasts.
