Desiccation Induced Conjunctival Monocyte Recruitment and Activation - Implications for Keratoconjunctivitis

Desiccation Induced Conjunctival Monocyte Recruitment and Activation - Implications for Keratoconjunctivitis

BackgroundLacrimal gland secretory dysfunction in Sjögren syndrome (SS) causes ocular surface desiccation that is associated with increased cytokine expression and number of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the conjunctiva. This study evaluated the hypothesis that desiccating stress (DS) alters th...
