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,
