What is the Role of Basal Cells?

Basal cells are the progenitor cells of the corneal epithelium. They undergo mitosis to produce new cells that migrate upwards to replenish the superficial layers. The turnover rate of the corneal epithelium is relatively high, with complete renewal occurring approximately every 7 to 10 days.
