    Press Release:
    Estrogen is responsible for slow wound healing in women
    New research in the FASEB Journal suggests that a lipid pathway (15-lipoxygenase-Lipoxin A4) is less active in females because estrogen reduces the activity and expression of this pathway
    Estrogen negatively regulates epithelial wound healing and protective lipid mediator circuits in the cornea.
