Three Dimensional Culture of Potential Epithelial Progenitor Cells in Human Lacrimal Gland
Purpose We investigate human lacrimal gland tissue to determine the presence of progenitor cells in this adult human tissue. Methods Six human lacrimal gland tissues from donors were collected and stored immediately in the culture medium at 4°C until the

Urothelial bladder carcinoma metastasizing to the eye: a systematic review and case report [PDF]
The eye is a rare site for disseminated malignancies; nevertheless, several tumors may metastasize to ocular structures. Few cases of urothelial and bladder cancer with eye involvement have been described in the literature thus far.

Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist attenuates lacrimal gland, lung, and liver fibrosis in a murine model of chronic graft-versus-host disease. [PDF]
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a serious complication following allogeneic HSCT (hematopoietic stem cell transplantation), is characterized by systemic fibrosis.

Ectodysplasin-A signaling is a key integrator in the lacrimal gland–cornea feedback loop
A lack of ectodysplasin-A (Eda) signaling leads to dry eye symptoms, which have so far only been associated with altered Meibomian glands. Here, we used loss-of-function (Eda−/−) mutant mice to unravel the impact of Eda signaling on lacrimal gland ...

Imaging of adult ocular and orbital pathology - a pictorial review [PDF]
Orbital pathology often presents a diagnostic challenge to the reporting radiologist. The aetiology is protean, and clinical input is therefore often necessary to narrow the differential diagnosis.

Gland Instance Segmentation Using Deep Multichannel Neural Networks [PDF]
Objective: A new image instance segmentation method is proposed to segment individual glands (instances) in colon histology images. This process is challenging since the glands not only need to be segmented from a complex background, they must also be individually identified.

Point process models for sweat gland activation observed with noise [PDF]
The aim of the paper is to construct spatial models for the activation of sweat glands for healthy subjects and subjects suffering from peripheral neuropathy by using videos of sweating recorded from the subjects. The sweat patterns are regarded as realizations of spatial point processes and two point process models for the sweat gland activation and ...
