Effect of Nitric Oxide on Human Corneal Epithelial Cell Viability and Corneal Wound Healing

Abstract Although the wound healing effects of nitric oxide (NO) are known, the mechanism by which NO modulates corneal wound healing remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous NO donor (NaNO2) on corneal wound healing. We found that NaNO2 (0.1 μM to 100 μM) increased hu...
