The Microbiome Modulates Corneal Wound Healing via the Induction of Cholesterol Sulfotransferase Pathway

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.
Antibiotic‐mediated disruption of commensal microbiota increases corneal cholesterol sulfate (CS) production through upregulation of SULT2B1, resulting in impaired corneal epithelial wound healing. Elevated CS suppresses neutrophil recruitment and epithelial cell migration via inhibition of the DOCK2–Rac pathway.
