New insights into lacrimal gland anatomy using 7T MRI and electron microscopy: Relevance for lacrimal gland targeted therapies and bioengineering

CONCLUSION: 3D-CR can be used to study the lacrimal gland microstructure, help fabricate a 3D scaffold for lacrimal gland bioprinting, and serve as guide for transconjunctival lacrimal gland targeted therapies i.e., 2.9 & 9 mm long needle to reach the orbital and palpebral lobe center, respectively.PMID:37774917 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtos.2023.09.010
