Modeling Ocular Surface Ion and Water Transport by Generation of Lipid- and Mucin-Producing Human Meibomian Gland and Conjunctival Epithelial Cells

Modeling of Ion and Water Transport on the Human Ocular Surface Background Introduction The ocular surface plays a crucial role in human physiology and diseases, especially the stability and composition of the tear film, which directly impact ocular surface health. The tear film consists of three layers: an outer lipid layer (secreted by the meibom...
