Human Meibum Age, Lipid–Lipid Interactions and Lipid Saturation in Meibum from Infants

Human Meibum Age, Lipid–Lipid Interactions and Lipid Saturation in Meibum from Infants

Tear stability decreases with increasing age and the same signs of instability are exacerbated with dry eye. Meibum lipid compositional changes with age provide insights into the biomolecules responsible for tear film instability. Meibum was collected from 69 normal donors ranging in age from 0.6 to...
