Collagen analogs with phosphorylcholine are inflammation-suppressing scaffolds for corneal regeneration from alkali burns in mini-pigs

Simpson, McTiernan et al. develop fully synthetic corneal implants. The resulting CLP-PEG-MPC implants show reduced corneal swelling, haze, and neovascularization compared to CLP-PEG only implants when grafted into a mini-pig cornea alkali burn model of inflammation over 12 months. This study sugges...
