The role of the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway in the corneal epithelium: recent updates
Abstract Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT (also called protein kinase B, PKB) signalling regulates various cellular processes, such as apoptosis, cell proliferation, the cell cycle, protein synthesis, glucose metabolism, and telomere activity.Corneal epithelial cells (CECs) are the outermost cells of the cornea; they maintain good optical p
