Bioelectric Responses of Conjunctival Goblet Cells to Dry Eye: Impact of Ion Channels on Exocytotic Function and Viability

How ion channels impact the response of the ocular surface to dry eye is only beginning to be explored. Here, we review recent progress and provide new experimental data clarifying the exocytosis-altering actions of ion channels in conjunctival goblet cells whose release of tear-stabilizing mucin is...
