Establishment of Mouse Meibomian Gland Organoids for In Vitro Modeling of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. [PDF]

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
To establish a three-dimensional model of the mouse meibomian gland (MG) and to recapitulate meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) for pathological investigations in MGD.Primary mouse MG epithelial cells (MGECs) were embedded in Matrigel and expanded in serum-free medium, followed by the addition of extra growth factors to induce branching.

Ferroptosis in Meibomian Gland Progenitor Cells Contributes to Pathogenesis of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. [PDF]

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
Meibomian gland (MG) atrophy in Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is critically linked to progenitor cell (PC) abnormalities. However, the mechanisms underlying PC abnormalities during MGD pathogenesis remain unclear. This study investigates the role of ferroptosis in MG PC abnormalities during MGD pathogenesis.Three mouse MGD models were established ...
