A deep learning approach in diagnosing fungal keratitis based on corneal photographs
Scientific Reports, 2020 Fungal keratitis (FK) is the most devastating and vision-threatening microbial keratitis, but clinical diagnosis a great challenge. This study aimed to develop and verify a deep learning (DL)-based corneal photograph model for diagnosing FK.

Dimethyl itaconate protects against fungal keratitis by activating the Nrf2/HO‐1 signaling pathway
Immunology and Cell Biology, 2020 Dimethyl itaconate (DI) is a membrane‐permeable itaconate derivative with anti‐inflammatory functions. However, the anti‐inflammatory effect of DI has never been studied in fungal keratitis.
