Assessment of Corneal Stromal Remodeling and Regeneration after Photorefractive Keratectomy

Abstract This study utilizes high resolution multi-dimensional imaging to identify temporal and spatial changes in cell/extracellular matrix (ECM) patterning mediating cell migration, fibrosis, remodeling and regeneration during wound healing. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was performed on rabbi...
