<i>Lycium barbarum</i> Polysaccharide Suppresses Expression of Fibrotic Proteins in Primary Human Corneal Fibroblasts

(1) Objective: To study the anti-fibrotic effects of <i>Lycium barbarum</i> polysaccharides (LBP) on corneal stromal fibroblasts and assess LBP’s effect on cell viability. (2) Methods: Primary human corneal keratocytes of passage 3 to 6 were used for all experiments. Cells are pretreated...
