The purpose of this paper is to explore the developmental origin, biological characteristics, and association with eye diseases of tissue-resident macrophages in the field of ophthalmology—hyalocytes. The eye is a highly specialized sensory organ that contains the retina, part of the central nervous system, as well as non-neuronal parts like the tr...

The Role of HDAC3 in Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Background Retinal ischemia-induced retinal diseases are significant characteristics of common visual impairments such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central retinal artery and vein occlusion. The therapeutic effects for these ischemic retinal diseases are generally ineffective, and the des...

Radiation Retinopathy Research Report Radiation Retinopathy (RR) is a common side effect following radiation therapy (such as brachytherapy or proton beam therapy) in ophthalmic tumor treatments. RR presents as delayed and progressive microvascular alterations, ischemia, and macular edema, which may ultimately lead to vision loss, neovascular glauc...

Interactive Mechanisms Between Cancer Cells and Macrophages Facilitate Pancreatic Cancer Cachexia Background Pancreatic cancer is currently the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer death within the next decade. Unfortunately, more than 80% of pancreatic cancer ...

Physical Immunoevasion: Attenuated Mechanical Communication Facilitates Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells to Evade Macrophage Attack Background Introduction Cancer metastasis is a complex and daunting challenge, with metastatic cancer cells capable of evading immune cell attacks, breaching the extracellular matrix (ECM), and migrating to other sit...
