A New Organotypic 3D Slice Culture of <i>Mouse</i> Meibomian Glands Reveals Impact of Melanocortins

A New Organotypic 3D Slice Culture of <i>Mouse</i> Meibomian Glands Reveals Impact of Melanocortins

The meibomian glands (MGs) within the eyelids produce a lipid-rich secretion that forms the superficial layer of the tear film. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) results in excessive evaporation of the tear film, which is the leading cause of dry eye disease (DED). To develop a research model simila...
