Abstract excerpt
The surface of the eye actively suppresses inflammation while maintaining a remarkable capacity for epithelial wound repair. Our understanding of mechanisms that balance inflammatory/reparative responses to provide effective host defense while preserving tissue function is limited, in particular, in the cornea. Lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) and docosahexaenoic acid-derived neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) are lipid autacoids...
