Abstract
This study strategically incorporates epidermal growth factor (EGF) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) within a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel to enhance corneal wound healing. The controlled release of EGF and KGF from the HA hydrogel is engineered to promote the regeneration of both the epithelial and stromal layers. Specifically, EGF plays a pivotal role in the regeneration of the epithelial layer, while KGF exhibits efficacy in the regeneration of the stromal layer. The combination of these growth factors facilitates efficient regeneration of each layer and demonstrates the capability to modulate each other's regenerative effects. The interplay between EGF and KGF provides an understanding of their cooperative influence on the dynamics of corneal wound healing. The results of this study contribute to the development of advanced strategies for corneal wound management and offer insights into the complex process of corneal regeneration.
