Curcuma longa Is Able to Induce Apoptotic Cell Death of Pterygium-Derived Human Keratinocytes

Figure 2

Phase contrast images of human keratinocytes derived from normal conjunctiva (a, b) and pterygium explants (c, d). On the left, images of the explants of normal conjunctiva (a) and pterygium (c) are shown. The cell overgrowth in the normal conjunctiva (a, b) was highly reduced compared with pterygium, where the overgrowth was really extensive. In both cases, cells displayed a typical polygonal morphology. Original magnification: 20x.
