Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide, predominantly released from sensory nerve fibers, with
a potentially protective role in diabetic corneal epithelial wound healing. However, the …

Purpose Macrophages have been shown to play a critical role in the wound healing process.
In the present study, the role of macrophages in wound healing after autologous corneal …

Purpose: To investigate the presence and role of fibroblast senescence in the dynamic
process of corneal wound healing involving stromal cell apoptosis, proliferation, and …

Development of high yield maize germplasm with satisfying nutritional quality has been a
major objective for maize breeders. Introgression lines from hybrids between Zea mays ssp. …

Corneal injury due to ocular trauma or infection is one of the most challenging vision
impairing pathologies that exists. Many studies focus on the pro‐inflammatory and pro‐angiogenic …

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic effects of targeting signal transducer and activator of
