HC-HA/PTX3 Purified From Human Amniotic Membrane Reverts Human Corneal Fibroblasts and Myofibroblasts to Keratocytes by Activating BMP Signaling

PURPOSE: Fibrosis or scarring is a pathological outcome of wound healing and is characterized by terminally differentiated myofibroblasts. Heavy chain-hyaluronic acid/pentraxin 3 (HC-HA/PTX3) is a unique matrix component purified from amniotic membrane that exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. Herein...
