1 August 2017 | | Cornea / External Eye Disease | Confocal microscopy, Corneal wound healing, Extracellular matrix, SHG imaging

Stromal keratocytes are responsible for wound healing in the cornea following damage. Keratocytes at the site of injury become activated and differentiate to myofibroblasts which secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) to close the wound, a response mediated by transforming growth factor...
