I learned about a new *organ* recently!
Not actually new, of course, they've existed for millions of years, but newly known about by me. I've been both a biologist and an intellectual magpie for a LONG time so finding out about a whole human organ I didn't know existed is interesting to me. And it has some cool cell biology, so join me, if you'd like, on a little journey of discovery about …
The Meibomian glands. (1/12)
