This study shows corneal epithelial cells can de-differentiate into functional limbal epithelial stem cells in vivo, mediated by the Hippo/YAP pathway, offering a new approach for treating limbal stem cell deficiency.

The paper shows that AMPK activation leads to dephosphorylation of TFEB's C-terminal sites, promoting its transcriptional activation, and that AMPK is not required for mTORC1-mediated TFEB activation.

The paper develops 24 polymorphic microsatellites for the hoverfly Eupeodes corollae and finds weak genetic differentiation across four populations in China, indicating high gene flow.
