Corneal stromal wound healing is a complex event that occurs to restore the transparency of
an injured cornea. It involves immediate apoptosis of keratocytes followed by their activation …

Basement membranes are layers of extracellular matrix which anchor the epithelium or
endothelium to connective tissues in most organs. Descemet's membrane—which is the …

Cornea, a dome-shaped and transparent front part of the eye, affords 2/3rd refraction and
barrier functions. Globally, corneal diseases are the leading cause of vision impairment …

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of topical suberanilohydroxamic acid (SAHA) and 5-methyl-1-
phenyl-2 [1H]-pyridone (pirfenidone) on the degree of corneal haze in the stromal wounded …

The integrity of innermost layer of the cornea, the corneal endothelium, is key to sustaining
corneal transparency. Therefore, disease or injury causing loss or damage to the corneal …

Often acute damage to the cornea initiates drastic tissue remodeling, resulting in fibrotic
scarring that disrupts light transmission and precedes vision impairment. Very little is known …

Unlike humans, rabbit corneal endothelial wounds are known to spontaneously heal. The
current study was aimed to develop a new rabbit bullous keratopathy model using corneal …

Corneal wound healing, caused by frequent traumatic injury to the cornea and increasing
numbers of refractive surgeries, has become a vital clinical problem. In the cornea, wound …

Die Hornhaut bildet die vordere Begrenzung des Auges und trägt durch ihre Transparenz,
Avaskularität und spezifische Krümmung wesentlich zur scharfen optischen Abbildung auf …

Nidogen-2 is a basement membrane (BM) glycoprotein that could be a key to understanding
why defects in BM regeneration occur after severe trauma to the cornea. We monitored the …
