A Bioadhesive Functional Peptide-Derived Supramolecular Hydrogel for the Promotion of Corneal Re-Epithelization

studies show that the hydrogel exhibits excellent ocular biocompatibility, prolongs precorneal retention (∼40 min), and promotes stratified epithelium formation in a rabbit model of corneal injury. By remodeling the epithelial barrier, this bioadhesive hydrogel provides a promising strategy for corneal homeostasis preservation and ocular disorder prevention.
