Collagen as the main structural component of the cornea exhibits unique and highly organized fibril lamellae, which contribute to the maintenance of corneal structure and transparency. Nevertheless, collagen assembly in vitro to create ideal artificial corneal substitutes with human cornea comparable thickness and optics is still limited. Here, glycerol as a regulator can reconcile collagen thickness, transparency, and permeability, a conflicting goal by current keratoprosthesis strategies.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia associated with increased morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) on cardiac structural remodeling in a rabbit model of AF.
Methods: Rabbits were subjected to rapid pacing to induce an AF model, and BNP was delivered subcutaneously at a dose of 20 μg/kg/d twice per day for three weeks.
