Lactoferrin Concentration in Human Tears and Ocular Diseases: A Meta-Analysis.

abstract：:PURPOSE. Simple sphingolipids control crucial cellular processes in several cell types. Previous work demonstrated that sphingolipids, such as ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate, are key mediators in the regulation of survival, differentiation, and proliferation of retina photoreceptors. Ceramide-1-pho...
