The keratocytes play a leading role in maintaining the normal transparent corneal structure, but also in repairing it, following various injuries. Knowledge of phenotype changes of these cells is important, both for explaining corneal pathology and for researching new therapy options.

Alginates from seaweed are used in chronic wound management, though the molecular and cellular effects of various alginate dressings are not well documented. We have developed ultrapure sodium-alginates from Pseudomonas fluorescens with different content and distribution of single guluronic acid (G) residues (0-45% G), and tested their biological activities on human primary keratinocytes (KCs). The alginates inhibited KC migration and induced expression of differentiation markers.
