Eyelid secretions and the prevention and production of disease [PDF]

Eye, 1988
Tears are necessary for the continued health of the ocular surface. Normal constituents include water, mucin, and lipids, electrolytes, non-electrolytes, and proteins. Lacrimal secretion is under cholinergic control and modulated by sympathetic adrenergic, peptidergic (VIP) and humoral influences; the meibomian glands are innervated, but the goblet ...

Microbubble‐Controlled Delivery of Biofilm‐Targeting Nanoparticles to Treat MRSA Infection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, an effective strategy using microbubble (MB)‐controlled delivery of biofilm‐targeting nanoparticles (BTNs) for removal and therapy of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections is introduced. In vivo delivery of MB with BTN is demonstrated to silence key bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation (icaA), bacterial ...
