Key Points

To explore the proteomic characteristics and biological functions of different layers of the human cornea.
Conducted proteomic profiling of individual corneal layers.
Analyzed biological processes such as immune responses and wound healing.
Examined potential implications for pathological conditions and drug localization.
Identified distinct proteomic profiles for each corneal layer.
Revealed important roles in immune responses and wound healing.
Provided insights into corneal homeostasis and pharmacological targeting.

Abstract

These results highlight the proteomic differentiation and functional specialization of individual corneal layers and provide insights into key biological processes, including immune responses, wound healing, and corneal homeostasis. Additionally, these findings hold the potential to be contrasted with pathological conditions and to trace the morphological localization of pharmacological target molecules.
