Purpose Commensal microbiome secretes various metabolites that can exert important
effects on the host immunity and inflammation and can alter cellular functions. However, little …

The cornea is critical for vision, accounting for about two-thirds of the refractive power of the
eye. Crucial to the role of the cornea in vision is its transparency. However, due to its …

High-fat/sucrose diet feeding in mice causes loss of corneal nerve function and impairs
corneal wound healing. While changing to a diet with a low fat/sugar composition and …
