High-Fidelity Lipidomics Co-Clustering Analysis Reveals Critical Lipid Metabolic Crux and Mechanisms in Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Abstract Background Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of evaporative dry eye and is characterized by gland obstruction, lipid imbalance, and tear film instability. While inflammatory mechanisms have been extensively studied, the molecular composition of meibum and its regulatory networks remain incompletely ...
