INTERACTION OF NANOSTRUCTURED LIPID CARRIERS WITH HUMAN MEIBUM
International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics, 2019 Objective: This study aimed to determine the possibility of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as a bionic tear film by determining the surface activities of the developed NLCs and their interaction with human meibomian lipid films. Methods: NLCs with different types of solid lipids and surfactants were prepared by a high-pressure homogenizer ...

Author Response: On the Presence and Role of Polar Lipids in Meibum [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2010 The truth often comes from debating. We are glad to discuss the issues Dr. Butovich et al. has raised about our paper.1 We recognize Dr. Butovich's contribution to the identification and quantitation of wax esters and cholesteryl esters. However, it is important to gather information on all the major species in meibomian lipids.

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 ...

A narrative literature review about alpha‐lipoic acid role in dry eye and ocular surface disease
Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 103, Issue 6, Page e346-e363, September 2025.Abstract Ocular surface diseases (OSD) include various conditions that affect the eye's surface, causing discomfort and pain. One such condition, dry eye disease (DED), is a multifactorial disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, with prevalence rates ranging from 5% to 50% and higher incidence in women.

Association of Eyelid Margin Thickness and Meibography in Dogs With Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 847-854, September 2025.ABSTRACT Objective To measure the eyelid margin thickness (LMT) in dogs with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and evaluate its correlation with meibomian gland (MG) morphology. Animals Studied Fifty‐nine client‐owned dogs. Procedure The LMT was measured on slit lamp biomicroscopy images and divided into groups of 1 to 4, from the thinnest to thickest,

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 18, September 2025.Spatial transcriptome analysis of the human Meibomian gland. Abstract Meibomian glands (MGs) are an integral component of the ocular defense system, as their secretion product, meibum, is essential for protecting the eye surface. To characterize the transcriptional program underlying meibum production, we employed spatial transcriptomics (ST) analysis ...

The enzyme kinetics of branched‐chain fatty acid synthesis of metazoan fatty acid synthase
Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Branched‐chain fatty acids (BCFAs) exhibit enhanced oxidative stability, lower melting points, and reduced viscosity compared to straight‐chain fatty acids (StCFAs), making them valuable for biological systems and industrial applications.
