...m when single cells are added to a visually clear, aqueous solution of silica and phospholipids, and the slurry is then dried on a surface. (Phospholipids are two-sided molecules that make up cell membranes.) Ordinarily, the drying of lipid-silica solutions produces an ordered porous nanostructure by a pro...'Aqueous Humor Outflow' featured in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science

Further study by Associate Professor Millar revealed, for the firsttime, proteins at the surface also played an unexpected role slowingdown the break-up rate of tears. "Proteins on the tear film interact and behave ...
