Fig. 8. A diagrammatic model of the role of neutrophils in corneal neovascularization and its modulation by ADSC.

Fig. 8

Prolonged retention of neutrophils promotes corneal neovascularization. ADSCs promote the reverse migration of neutrophils from the corneal tissue to the blood vessels. Due to the enhanced reverse migration of neutrophils, the retention of neutrophils in corneal stroma was reduced, which attenuates neovascularization in cornea.
