A new real-time imaging study reveals that VR gaming rapidly reshapes the eye’s protective tear layer, raising its temperature and thickening its lipid film. However, overall tear stability and ...

Dry eye disease (DED) is a common condition in which tear film abnormalities result in a damaging cycle of tear hyperosmolarity, desiccating stress, inflammation, and ocular surface injury. In a ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...

Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common ocular surface disorders. All DED involves an imbalance between tear production and evaporation. Most cases of DED are driven by excessive evaporation, ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases.

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Data suggest that lipid-based eye drops have potential to treat evaporative dry eye disease. Several reviewed ...

It often feels as though your skin-care routine’s primary goals are strictly aesthetic—to banish breakouts, smooth wrinkles, reduce discoloration, et cetera. But while these are certainly welcome ...

The procedure of lipid droplet protein co-immunoprecipitation. The experimental process includes ten steps that are indicated in the flowchart. These steps can be summarized into seven key components ...
