Summary
Maintaining human cornea structural integrity offers benefits beyond normal function. Preventing structural breakdown and vascularization reduces inflammatory disease risk, justifying therapeutic development.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Corneal Biology
- Immunology
Background:
- The human cornea's structural integrity is crucial for its protective function.
- Breakdown of corneal layers and invasion by blood vessels increase inflammation risk.
- Existing knowledge supports the need for therapies to preserve corneal structure.
