Culture, Immortalization, and Characterization of Human Meibomian Gland Epithelial Cells
25 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Meibomian gland epithelial cells are essential in maintaining the health and integrity of the ocular surface. However, very little is known about their physiological regulation. In this study, the cellular control mechanisms were explored, first to establish a defined culture system for the maintenance of primary epithelial cells from human meibomian glands and, second, to immortalize these cells,...
