| Research Abstract |
We successfully detected the expression of myofibroblasts and abnormality of collagen lamellae in the diseased corneas. Whole-mount immunostaining and second harmonic generation imaging microscopy revealed that the expression of myofibroblasts as the marker of corneal stromal scarring and abnormality of collagen lamellae were detectable in disease duration-dependent and causative disease-dependent manner. We propose that corneal stromal edematous disease may be the pathologically progressive disease.
