Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced collagen production in scleral fibroblasts, suggesting a strategy for myopia intervention.

Key Points

  • The primary aim is to investigate the effect of magnetic stimulation on scleral fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis using MNP/G nanocomposites.
  • Synthesized magnetic/graphene composites via covalent co-precipitation.
  • Co-cultured human scleral fibroblasts with 30 μg/mL MNP/G while applying static magnetic stimulation at 20 mT.
  • Assessed cell proliferation through CCK-8 assay and quantified collagen synthesis via hydroxyproline content measurement.
  • Magnetic stimulation significantly increased HFSF proliferation compared to controls, with improved cell morphology.
  • Measured collagen synthesis was markedly higher following magnetic stimulation and the combined application of MNP/G nanomaterials.
  • This strategy shows potential for strengthening scleral biomechanical properties and counteracting myopia progression.
