Effects of a Novel Dexamethasone Hydrogel Drug Delivery System on Cytokine and Mucin Expression in a Three-Dimensional In Vitro Conjunctival Inflammation Model
We established an inflammation model, in which the effects of novel treatment options on cytokine and mucin expression can be analyzed. This opens a new in vitro test platform for DED medication and enables deeper investigations into conjunctival mucin expression in inflamed tissue.
