Abstract

The ability of insulin and IGF-2 to support wound repair in the organ-cultured rat corneal endothelium was investigated. Corneas given a circular transcorneal freeze injury, were explanted into organ cultures containing either insulin or IGF-2 and cultured up to72 h. Both factors increased [
