Bioengineered Lacrimal Gland Organ Regeneration in Vivo
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2015 The lacrimal gland plays an important role in maintaining a homeostatic environment for healthy ocular surfaces via tear secretion. Dry eye disease, which is caused by lacrimal gland dysfunction, is one of the most prevalent eye disorders and causes ...

Alx4 relays sequential FGF signaling to induce lacrimal gland morphogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 The sequential use of signaling pathways is essential for the guidance of pluripotent progenitors into diverse cell fates. Here, we show that Shp2 exclusively mediates FGF but not PDGF signaling in the neural crest to control lacrimal gland development ...

Surfactant protein D contributes to ocular defense against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a murine model of dry eye disease. [PDF]
, 2013 Dry eye disease can cause ocular surface inflammation that disrupts the corneal epithelial barrier. While dry eye patients are known to have an increased risk of corneal infection, it is not known whether there is a direct causal relationship between ...
