Abstract
Interest in corneal wound healing has been fueled largely by the growth in surgical procedures including penetrating keratoplasty and refractive surgery. Recently, we have developed a collagen matrix designed to provide an important in vitro model for corneal wound healing. The matrix for this investigation was a porous collagen matrix composed of type I collagen from bovine corium supplemented with various proteoglycans. Results indicate that soluble factors produced by endothelial cells and insoluble factors produced by stromal fibroblasts influence epithelial layer formation on a collagen sponge.
