Researchers at the University of California Davis have conducted a study on a mouse model to better understand meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and evaporative dry eye disease (EDED). The study focused on the Awat2 knockout (KO) mouse model and found that these mice exhibited features similar to human MGD and EDED, making them a valuable tool for testing new therapeutic approaches. The research, funded by various institutions, provides insights into the pathophysiology of these eye conditions and highlights the importance of animal models in developing novel treatments.
