Reparative outcomes in corneal infection: linking adjunctive Tβ4 treatment to nerve regeneration and visual function
Ebrahim AS, Liu L, Carion TW, et al. (2026). Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science.
Summary
A mouse study of thymosin beta-4 added to ciprofloxacin in bacterial keratitis. The combination improved visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, corneal sensitivity and nerve regeneration compared with vehicle or either treatment alone, restoring nerve density to levels comparable to uninfected controls.
