Fig. 1From: Ocular surface mucins and local inflammation—studies in genetically modified mouse linesOcular surface mucins. The ocular surface epithelia express three MAMs, that are concentrated on the tips of the apical cells’ microplicae. Secreted mucins are produced by Goblet cells and secreted in the tear film. The loss of Muc16 activates Stat3 signaling in fibroblasts in the subconjunctival connective tissue and upregulates expression of cytokine. Reproduced from [67]Back to article page
