Abstract

As the elderly population continues to grow exponentially, dry eye disease is becoming increasingly common. In this issue, Sasaki and colleagues identified a NAD+-regulated steroidogenic pathway in the eye that supports the normal function of meibomian glands, and show that increasing the availability of NAD+ can alleviate the dry eye phenotype of aged mice.
