Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the number and characteristics of immune cells (PMNs) in tear fluid fluctuate based on the time of day and duration of eye closure.
- Researchers found that more PMNs were present in tears after 2 hours of sleep at night than after the same duration during the day.
- The results suggest that nighttime PMNs show higher activation levels, and their recruitment may be influenced by increased levels of the signaling protein IL-8 in tears during the night.
