Reduced Levels of Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases in UVB-Irradiated Corneal Epithelium.

abstract：:Elemental sulfur is a low-cost and abundant substance as one of the largest by-products of the oil industry which was widely used in many industrial activities. Cyclo-octasulfur (S8 ) is one of the sulfur allotropes that is a very stable substance in standard conditions. In this study, we report a low-cost and fast me...
