Although this current study does not showcase the superior proteolytic stability and antifungal properties of bleogen pB1 compared to EGF in corneal wound healing, future studies using alternative animal models (e.g., involving the study of cornea infection and the employment of diabetic models) are warranted (Kernacki et al., 1997; Dong et al., 2005; Saghizadeh et al., 2005). Here, EGF is linked to corneal infection.
