MGD: Definition Versus Dry Eye Disease, Risk Factors

, 2014
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is defined as any functional disorder of the meibomian glands. While MGD is commonly associated with lipid tear deficiency, patients with MGD may also be asymptomatic and/or may have normal tear film parameters. Although

Spatial transcriptome analysis of the human eyelid depicts meibomian gland cell differentiation: A pilot study

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 18, September 2025.
Spatial transcriptome analysis of the human Meibomian gland. Abstract Meibomian glands (MGs) are an integral component of the ocular defense system, as their secretion product, meibum, is essential for protecting the eye surface. To characterize the transcriptional program underlying meibum production, we employed spatial transcriptomics (ST) analysis ...

Diagnosis of meibomian gland dysfunction based on spectral convolutional neural network chip

PhotoniX
Dry eye disease (DED) is the most common ocular surface disorder with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) as a leading cause. However, precise diagnosis of MGD based on the intrinsic composition remains unattainable, leading to delayed diagnosis and ...
