Abstract excerpt
Keratocytes normally express high levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase and keratocan. They proliferate and lose their keratocyte markers when they become fibroblastic during corneal wound healing. Keratocytes cultured in fetal bovine serum also become fibroblastic, proliferate, and lose these markers. In this report, we studied the effects of three serum growth factors, fibroblast growth factor-2, insulin, and...
