The results of the present study indicate that a low concentration of hEGF may selectively enhance epithelial healing without affecting endothelial healing. The optimal concentration of hEGF for the stimulation of epithelial healing appears to be 5 microg/ml in rabbit corneal alkali wounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
