Serum-induced keratinization processes in an immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cell line.

Serum-induced keratinization processes in an immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cell line.

The aim of this study was to evaluate a human meibomian gland epithelial cell line (HMGEC) as a model for meibomian gland (patho)physiology in vitro.HMGEC were cultured in the absence or presence of serum. Sudan III lipid staining, ultrastructural analysis and lipidomic analyses were performed. Impe...
