Lacrimal Gland Microenvironment Changes After Obstruction of Lacrimal Gland Ducts [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2022 To investigate microenvironment changes of the lacrimal gland after obstruction of lacrimal gland ducts.The ducts of rat exorbital lacrimal gland were ligated by sutures for different durations. After that, the sutures in some animals were released, and they were observed for 21 days to evaluate the recovery of the lacrimal gland.

Establishing human lacrimal gland cultures with secretory function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 PURPOSE: Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial chronic disabling disease mainly caused by the functional disruptions in the lacrimal gland. The treatment involves palliation like ocular surface lubrication and rehydration.

Toll-Like Receptor 7 Is Required for Lacrimal Gland Autoimmunity and Type 1 Diabetes Development in Male Nonobese Diabetic Mice [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an immunologically complex, chronic autoimmune disease targeting lacrimal and salivary glands. Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice spontaneously develop inflammation of lacrimal and salivary glands with histopathological features ...

Lacrimal Gland Repair after Short-term Obstruction of Excretory Duct in Rabbits
Scientific Reports, 2017 Aqueous tear-deficient dry eye is a multifactorial chronic disorder in which the lacrimal glands fail to produce enough tears to maintain a healthy ocular surface. The existence of lacrimal gland stem/progenitor cells was proposed in several species, yet

Development of lacrimal gland spheroids for lacrimal gland tissue regeneration
Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2018 Severe dry eye syndrome resulting from lacrimal gland (LG) dysfunction can cause blindness, yet treatments remain palliative. In vitro reconstruction of LG tissue could provide a curative treatment. We aimed to combine epithelial cells with endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to form a 3D functional unit.

FGF-induced Pea3 transcription factors program the genetic landscape for cell fate determination. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 FGF signaling is a potent inducer of lacrimal gland development in the eye, capable of transforming the corneal epithelium into glandular tissues. Here, we show that genetic ablation of the Pea3 family of transcription factors not only disrupted the ...
