Demographic Patterns and Clinical Presentations of Demodicosis in a Longitudinal Study From Khuzestan Province, Southwest Iran

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Demodicosis is a significant dermatological condition caused by Demodex mites, with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Despite its prevalence, population‐based studies on the epidemiology, co‐infections, and atypical presentations of demodicosis remain limited globally.

Identification of Meibomian gland stem cell populations and mechanisms of aging

Nature Communications
Meibomian glands secrete lipid-rich meibum, which prevents tear evaporation. Aging-related Meibomian gland shrinkage may result in part from stem cell exhaustion and is associated with evaporative dry eye disease, a common condition lacking effective ...

An accelerated mouse model of inflammatory dry eye disease [PDF]

, 2016
Meibomian glands (MGs) in eyelids (Fig. 1A) are enlarged sebaceous glands connected to hair follicles. The function of MGs is to secrete lipids which form the outer layer of the tear film of the eye (Fig. 1B).

Drug‐Induced Periocular and Ocular Surface Disorders: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 2953-2972, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Various systemic and topical medications can induce ocular and periocular cutaneous adverse effects (AEs), ranging from mild to severe. These AEs may lead to ocular surface (OS) damage and, in some cases, life‐threatening complications. Drug‐induced ocular adverse reactions are generally classified into two primary categories: toxic reactions ...
