Myrna, K E; Pot, Simon A; Murphy, C J (2009). Meet the corneal myofibroblast: the role of myofibroblast transformation in corneal wound healing and pathology. Veterinary Ophthalmology, 12(Suppl.):25-27.
In recent years the role of the myofibroblast in corneal wound healing has been extensively studied. The transformation of the corneal keratocyte to the fibroblast and myofibroblast phenotypes is a critical process in normal and pathologic corneal wound healing. This review will introduce this important transformation and its role in corneal wound healing and pathology.
