Autophagy Activation Protects Ocular Surface from Inflammation in a Dry Eye Model In Vitro

Inflammation is the main pathophysiology of dry eye, characterized by tear film instability and hyperosmolarity. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of inflammation and cellular autophagy using an in vitro dry eye model with primary cultured human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs...
