The Sources of Fibroblasts in Corneal Wound Repair

Nonmechanical Q-Switched Erbium:YAG Laser Trephination for Penetrating Keratoplasty

“…Furthermore, it has been estimated that most fibroblasts (65%) that contribute to the wound repair in the cornea are not derived from keratocytes but from circulating monocytes. 44 The overall extent of tissue damage corresponded well to the previously mentioned light microscopic findings.…”

Polarizing Microscopic Studies on the Regeneration Behaviour of Perforating Corneal Wounds

“…According to the observation of Weimar (1957Weimar ( , 1958Weimar ( , 1959Weimar ( , 1960Weimar ( , 1962Weimar ( , 1966 24 hours after the lesion about 75 per cent of the keratocytes transform into fibroblasts in the surroundings of the wound. By histochemical examinations Kitano (1966), Kitano & Goldman (1966) proved that all the fibroblasts, which contributed to the healing of the wound, originated from the transformation of the keratocytes.…”

Vital Staining Properties of Neutral Red

“…Previous ophthalmological investigations by Weimar (1958Weimar ( , 1959Weimar ( , 1962 revealed that the intact cornea of experimental animals does not take up neutral red. Damage of epithelium and stroma are required to activate the keratocytes to take up the dye.…”
