In Vitro Visualization of Corneal Wound Healing in an Organ Culture Model Using Multiphoton Autofluorescence and Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy

摘要

The aim of this work is to image the wound healing process of cornea in an in vitro organ culture model with non-invasive multiphoton imaging modality. Autofluorescence and second harmonic generation (SHG) were respectively used to monitor the alterations of cellular and collagenous components during wound healing processes. Within additional developments, this approach may be applied to in vivo visualization of corneal structural destruction and the subsequent regeneration.
