The study provides promising, first-of-its-kind evidence for the generation of lacrispheres from fresh HuLG, with enriched population of stem cells and secretory competent differentiated cells. The dual properties of these spheres make them a highly suitable source of transplantable cells for restoring the structure and function of damaged lacrimal gland.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
