Zeb1 regulation of wound-healing-induced inflammation in alkali-damaged corneas
Summary: The cornea is an avascular tissue for vision clarity. Alkali burn could cause severe traumatic damage on the cornea with inflammation and neovascularization (NV), leading to vision reduction and blindness.

Pro-inflammatory role of NLRP3 inflammasome in experimental sterile corneal inflammation
We evaluated the role of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in sterile corneal inflammation caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or alkali burns in C57BL6 mice or NLRP3 KO (Nlrp3 −/− ) mice.
