Characterising the structural, functional and metabolomic changes occurring in human corneal cells due to Acanthamoeba castellanii secretome and amelioration of infection using cerium oxide nanoparticles

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe corneal infection that poses a public health problem. Treatment of AK remains challenging because it relies on prolonged therapeutic regimens often utilising drug combinations. The considerable damage to human ocular tissue of patients with AK is partially med...
