The role of neutrophils in corneal wound healing in HO-2 null mice.

The role of neutrophils in corneal wound healing in HO-2 null mice.

Our studies demonstrated that Heme oxygenase (HO), in particular, the constitutive HO-2, is critical for a self-resolving inflammatory and repair response in the cornea. Epithelial injury in HO-2 null mice leads to impaired wound closure and chronic inflammation in the cornea. This study was underta...
