    Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive degenerative disease of the central retina and the leading cause of severe loss of central vision in people over age 50. Patients gradually lose central visual acuity, compromising their ability to read, write, drive, and recognize faces, all of which greatly impact daily life activities. Quality of life is significantly affected in these patients, and there are worse levels of depression as a result. AMD is a complex, multifactorial disease in which age and genetics, as well as environmental factors, all play a role in its development and progression. The mechanism by which these risk factors interact and converge towards AMD are not fully understood, and therefore, drug discovery is challenging, with no successful therapeutic attempt to prevent the development of this disease. In this review, we describe the pathophysiology of AMD and review the role of complement, which is a major risk factor in the development of AMD.

    Abstract Autoimmune diseases caused by T cells can arise from either T-helper 1 (Th1) or T-helper 17 (Th17)-type pathogenic T cells. However, it is unclear whether these two T-cell subsets are influenced by distinct pathogenic factors and whether treatments that are effective for Th1 responses also work for Th17 responses. To compare these two pathogenic responses, we conducted a systematic analysis in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) to identify the factors that promote or inhibit each response and to determine their responses to various treatments. Our study found that the two types of pathogenic responses differ significantly in their pathological progressions and susceptibility to treatments. Specifically, we observed that extracellular adenosine is a crucial pathogenic molecule involved in the pathogenicity of inflammation and T-cell reactivity and that reciprocal interaction between adenosine and gamma delta (γδ) T cells plays a significant role in amplifying Th17 responses in the development of autoimmune diseases. The potential effect of targeting adenosine or adenosine receptors is analyzed regarding whether such targeting constitutes an effective approach to modulating both γδ T-cell responses and the pathogenic Th17 responses in autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify retinal hydration (RH) levels with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and determine the extent of cellular damage resulting from intraretinal fluid alterations.
    Methods: We took 6.0 mm sections of the human sensory retina that were excised from 18 fresh (<24 hours) donor eyes. They were either exposed to various osmotic stresses between 90 and 305 mOsm or dehydrated under a laminar flow hood. Change in tissue weight was used to calculate the retinal water content (RWC). Image analyses were conducted on OCT between 0 and 180 minutes to assess retinal thickness (RT) and "optically empty areas" (OEAs) representing intraretinal fluid. Correlations were sought among RWC, OEA, RWC, and RT. The effect of RH on retinal cell viability (RCV) was assessed with the Live-Dead Assay.
    Results: RH demonstrated a stronger correlation with the OEA than plain RT measurements (r = 0.99, P < 0.001). RH-RCV interaction fits well to a bell-shaped curve. A significant proportion of retinal cells (>80%) remained viable despite the change in RH ranging between 0.87 and 1.42 times. This "safe zone" was found to be associated with a 22% increase in OEA (r = 0.99, P < 0.01).
    Conclusions: OCT has been demonstrated as a valuable tool for assessing RH and can be used for intraretinal fluid content analysis. RH is a better indicator of RCV compared with RT. Computing RH may improve the determination of functional outcome of intravitreal pharmacotherapeutics used for diabetic macular edema and exudative age-related macular degeneration.
    Translational relevance: We link basic research and clinical care by assessing retinal hydration's impact on retinal fluid dynamics, macular edema, and cell viability.

    Abstract Pro- and ant-inflammatory effects of IFN-γ have been repeatedly found in various immune responses, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. In a previous study we showed that the timing of treatment determines the effect of adenosine-based immunotherapy. In this study we examined the role of IFN-γ in pathogenic Th17 responses in experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). We observed that IFN-γ has a bidirectional effect on Th17 responses, when tested both

    Abstract Rhodopsin-mediated autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common cause of RP in North America. There is no proven cure for the disease, and multiple approaches are being studied. Gene therapy is an evolving field in medicine and ophthalmology. In this review, we will go over the basic concept of gene therapy and the different types of gene therapy that are currently being studied to treat this disease.
