Effects of human epidermal growth factor on endothelial wound healing of human corneas.

abstract：:Heightened interest in meibomian glands dysfunction prompted the authors to examine the ultrastructure of the glandular epithelium in specimens of surgical origin, by thin section and freeze-fracture electron microscopies. In meibomian glands, the morphology and ultrastructure of acinar cells varies considerably accor...
