Extracellular Vesicles Secreted by Corneal Epithelial Cells Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation
The corneal epithelium mediates the initial response to injury of the ocular surface and secretes a number of profibrotic factors that promote corneal scar development within the stroma. Previous studies have shown that corneal epithelial cells also secrete small extracellular vesicles (EVs) in resp...
