2007, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a polypeptide originally isolated from mouse submaxillary glands that has been shown to experimentally enhance healing of corneal epithelial wounds.25,56,88,98 It stimulates the uptake of DNA, RNA, and protein precursors by corneal epithelium and promotes epithelial hyperplasia and migration of cells to cover the denuded surface.25,39,56,60,104,107 Epidermal growth factor has been reported to favorably influence epithelial migration in human studies of alkali injury.95,99,104
