Human meibum and tear film derived (O-acyl)-omega-hydroxy fatty acids in meibomian gland dysfunction

This study evaluates tear film and meibum-derived OAHFAs in meibomian gland dysfunction

Human precorneal tear film and lipid layer dynamics in meibomian gland dysfunction

This study evaluates the precorneal tear film (PCTF) and lipid layer (TFLL) thicknesses and thinning rates in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) using a combined ultra-high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and thickness dependent fringe (TDF) interferometry system.

The role of (O-acyl)-Omega-Hydroxy Fatty Acids in Human Lipid Layer Structure and Function in Health and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (PI, Jason Nichols)

This project aims to investigate the role of (O-acyl)-Omega-Hydroxy Fatty Acids in alterations of human tear film lipid layer as a basis for formulating novel therapeutics for meibomian gland dysfunction.
