Renewal of the Holocrine Meibomian Glands by Label-Retaining, Unipotent Epithelial Progenitors [PDF]
Stem Cell Reports, 2016 The meibomian and sebaceous glands secrete lipids to prevent desiccation of the ocular surface and skin, respectively. Precisely how these holocrine tissues regenerate is not well understood.

A simple technique of meibography for morphological and functional evaluation of meibomian glands in dry eye conditions [PDF]
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023 Purpose: Dry eye disease (DED) is because of a decrease in the tear film's volume or a change in the composition of tears. Evaporative dry eye is the most common type, which is due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
