Abstract: Patients with Sjӧgren's syndrome (SS) have dry eye associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). The meibum from donors with dry eye due to MGD but without SS (MMGD) presents with lower levels of cholesteryl ester,… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE The compositional, structural, and functional relationships of meibum may provide insights into the loss of tear film stability. Although the conformation of meibum lipids has been studied rigorously, that of tear lipids has not.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms20184539
Abstract: Meibum is a lipid secretion that is produced by holocrine Meibomian glands (MGs). MGs are a specialized type of sebaceous glands that are embedded in the human eyelids. Chemically, meibum and sebum are different. A… read more here.
