Meibomian gland dysfunction in Sjögren's disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
For many years, lacrimal gland dysfunction was considered the primary cause of dry eye disease in Sjögren's Disease (SjD). However, recent studies reveal that meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is also a significant contributor in dry eye associated with SjD.

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

Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science
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]

Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science
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 ...

Intraductal meibomian gland probing and its efficacy in the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction [PDF]

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2021
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a major cause of dry eye, affecting millions worldwide. Intraductal meibomian gland probing (MGP) aims to open obstructed meibomian glands using a small probe to promote meibum secretion. MGP has received increasing interest since 2010, and we critically evaluated the literature on the efficacy and safety of MGP ...
