Impact of β-1,3-glucan isolated from Euglena gracilis on corneal epithelial cell migration and on wound healing in a rat alkali burn model.
To determine the impact of β-1,3-glucan isolated from Euglena gracilis on corneal epithelial cell migration and on wound healing in a rat alkali burn model. ⋯ β-1,3-Glucan, particularly when conjugated with HA, promoted epithelial wound healing in vitro and suppressed the acute inflammatory reaction in corneal alkali burns.
