Abstract
The mammalian cornea is maintained by the lifelong self-replenishing activity of its stem cells. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Altshuler et al. (2021) and Farrelly et al. (2021) identify two stem cell populations with diverse function and genetic signature, one "active" and one "quiescent," that support corneal health.
