Extracellular Matrix Deposition and Remodeling after Corneal Alkali Burn in Mice

Extracellular Matrix Deposition and Remodeling after Corneal Alkali Burn in Mice

Corneal transparency relies on the precise arrangement and orientation of collagen fibrils, made of mostly Type I and V collagen fibrils and proteoglycans (PGs). PGs are essential for correct collagen fibrillogenesis and maintaining corneal homeostasis. We investigated the spatial and temporal distr...
