Abstract
The results reveal similar behaviors in limbal and pterygium epithelial cells in terms of VEGF and VEGFR expression, with the presumption that pterygia arise from limbal epithelial cells and that human conjunctivas are not a suitable control for the analysis of pterygia. Moreover, the results suggest that VEGF might play an active role in the physiology of conjunctival epithelial cells.
