Epithelial stem cell homeostasis in Meibomian gland development, dysfunction, and dry eye disease
JCI Insight, 2021 Dry eye disease affects over 16 million adults in the US, and the majority of cases are due to Meibomian gland dysfunction. Unfortunately, the identity of the stem cells involved in Meibomian gland development and homeostasis is not well elucidated. Here,

Analysis of the pathogenic factors and management of dry eye in ocular surface disorders [PDF]
, 2017 The tear film represents the interface between the eye and the environment. The alteration of the delicate balance that regulates the secretion and distribution of the tear film determines the dry eye (DE) syndrome. Despite having a multifactorial origin,
