Inflammatory Mediators in Tear Film

Molecular classification
Cytokine, Chemokine, Growth Factor, Lipid Mediator, Protease, Protease Inhibitor
01

Overview

Inflammatory mediators in the tear film are a diverse group of molecules central to regulating immune responses on the ocular surface—serving both physiological defense roles and contributing pathologically when overexpressed during diseases like dry eye or keratoconus.
