Regeneration of Lacrimal Gland Function to Maintain the Health of the Ocular Surface.
Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2018 Dry eye is a multifactorial disease that is one of the most common diseases worldwide. A major cause of dry eye is the deficiency of aqueous tears, which are mainly secreted from the lacrimal gland.

Manipulating the Murine Lacrimal Gland [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2014 The lacrimal gland (LG) secretes aqueous tears necessary for maintaining the structure and function of the cornea, a transparent tissue essential for vision. In the human a single LG resides in the orbit above the lateral end of each eye delivering tears to the ocular surface through 3 - 5 ducts.

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Summary Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for Rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.
