Does corneal femtosecond laser keratotomy result in isolated stromal injury and favorable wound-healing response?
Isolated stromal injury using an fs laser avoids epithelial injury and is associated with a favorable wound-healing response preserving corneal transparency. Thus, fs laser keratotomy is a highly selective laser treatment that can be useful for the treatment of refractive errors.
Guanylin is expressed in mature goblet cells. If secreted in conjunction with mucin, it could play a role in the hydration of mucus.
