Abstract:Background: Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a procedure for making bonds that connect polymer chains to one another. Corneal CXL aims to slow or stop the progression of keratoconus by using photooxidative therapy so as to increase stromal rigidity. Transglutaminase enzymes are currently widely used in the food industry. Recent studies have shown that mRNA, fibronectin, and transglutaminase were found to be more abundant in human corneal keratocytes treated with UVA and riboflavin. Transglutaminase is c… Show more
