Pseudophakic eyes were found to have threefold higher odds of OHT compared to phakic eyes and nearly twelvefold higher odds of glaucoma. The study is published in @AAOjournal . https://t.co/Qf4zBv6naD Pic above (c) Nature

In a meta-analysis of >53,800 vitrectomized eyes across 40 studies by ophthalmologists from Italy, UK and Nepal, pars plana vitrectomy was found to be associated with clinically meaningful risk of ocular hypertension (OHT) and glaucoma, especially in pseudophakic eyes.

In the journal PNAS, the researchers report that their newly developed method allowed them to identify that microglia start to move more actively in diabetic mice, indicating increased monitoring activity, long before tissue damage is noticeable. https://t.co/cocrqOCgPC

The vaccine targets leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1), a protein specifically expressed in pathological NV, inducing anti-LRG1 antibody responses in mice.
