Nerve regeneration by human corneal stromal keratocytes and stromal fibroblasts

Nerve regeneration by human corneal stromal keratocytes and stromal fibroblasts

Laser refractive surgeries reshape corneal stroma to correct refractive errors, but unavoidably affect corneal nerves. Slow nerve regeneration and atypical neurite morphology cause desensitization and neuro-epitheliopathy. Following injury, surviving corneal stromal keratocytes (CSKs) are activated...
