Role of Macrophages in CL-Enhanced Regeneration After Peripheral Nerve Injury

Key Research on the Role of Macrophages in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Background and Research Objectives Since the 1990s, research has shown that macrophages play a promoting role in peripheral nerve regeneration, and are particularly important in the conditioning lesion (CL) response. After sciatic nerve injury, macrophages accumulate at the in...

CCR5-overexpressing mesenchymal stem cells protect against experimental autoimmune uveitis: insights from single-cell transcriptome analysis

Protective effects of CCR5-overexpressing mesenchymal stem cells on experimental autoimmune uveitis Background Introduction Uveitis is an inflammatory eye disease that seriously threatens vision and can lead to complications such as cataracts, glaucoma, vitreous opacities, retinal detachment, and abnormal retinal vasculature. This disease is widesp...

Therapeutic Intervention in Neuroinflammation for Neovascular Ocular Diseases through Targeting the cGAS-STING pathway

Therapeutic Intervention in Neuroinflammation for Neovascular Ocular Diseases through Targeting the cGAS-STING pathway

The Key Role of Retina Microglia in Pathological Angiogenesis and the Immunotherapeutic Potential of the cGAS-STING Pathway Background Pathological angiogenesis is common in various neovascular ophthalmic diseases, such as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) [1]. During these diseases, bone marrow cells, including r...
