Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular identification of a danger signal that alerts the immune system to dying cells

TL;DR: Uric acid stimulates dendritic cell maturation and, when co-injected with antigen in vivo, significantly enhances the generation of responses from CD8+ T cells, and have important implications for vaccines, autoimmunity and inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgen Deficiency, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Evaporative Dry Eye

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that androgen deficiency may be an important etiologic factor in the pathogenesis of evaporative dry eye in women with Sjögren's syndrome and demonstrate that the meibomian gland is an androgen target organ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Harmonizing lipidomics: NIST interlaboratory comparison exercise for lipidomics using SRM 1950-Metabolites in Frozen Human Plasma.

John A. Bowden, +95 more
TL;DR: The central theme of the interlaboratory study was to provide values to help harmonize lipids, lipid mediators, and precursor measurements across the community, and it was also initiated to stimulate a discussion regarding areas in need of improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of androgen deficiency on the human meibomian gland and ocular surface

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that patients taking antiandrogen treatment had a significant increase in the frequency of appearance of tear film debris, an abnormal tear film meniscus, irregular posterior lid margins, conjunctival tarsal injection, and orifice metaplasia of the meibomian glands.
Journal Article

Androgen influence on the meibomian gland.

TL;DR: The findings show that the meibomian gland is an androgen target organ and that androgens influence the lipid profile within this tissue, however, the extent to which androgens regulate the production of these lipids and whether this action may impact tear film stability remain to be determined.
