do stem cells work for dry eye

In Dogs: Proof That Mesenchymal Stem Cells Help with Dry Eye and other disorders.

Proof That Mesenchymal Stem Cells Help with Dry Eye and Other Disorders. This study shows the benefit of Allogeneic (not your own stem cells) Mesenchymal Stem cells injected near the dog’s lacrimal gland. These dogs had Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), also known as “dry eye syndrome, which is usually due to lacrimal gland inflammation. After they did […]

The study (Reference A) below show that a single injection of Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMDMSC) improved the secretory function of the lacrimal gland in Sjögren’s syndrome-like diseased mice. This improved production of tears was most likely due to decreased inflammation and increased expression of the water channel aquaporin which is key in improving tear
