Desiccating stress triggers conjunctival monocyte to macrophage cascade - Implications for Sjögren Syndrome keratoconjunctivitis Desiccation induced monocyte cascade 

ABSTRACT: Lacrimal gland secretory dysfunction in Sjögren syndrome (SS) causes ocular surface desiccation that is associated with increased cytokine expression and number of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the conjunctiva. This study evaluated the hypothesis that desiccating stress (DS) alters the percentage and gene expression of myeloid cell populations in the conjunctiva.
