INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) – TREATMENT STRATEGY FOR MEIBOMIAN GLAND DYSFUNCTION [PDF]

Journal of IMAB
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a primary cause of dry eye syndrome, as the meibomian glands produce lipids that maintain tear film integrity and reduce its evaporation. Blockage of these glands can result in symptoms associated with dry eye disease.

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.
