External limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone structural integrity in diabetic macular edema

Sandeep Saxena et al.

Summary: The use of SD-OCT allows for the detailed observation of ELM and EZ, and in DME, the correlation between increased VEGF levels and disease severity, retinal thickness, and disruption of ELM and EZ has been established. Following anti-VEGF therapy, the restoration of ELM precedes that of EZ, highlighting ELM as a novel retinal structural barrier.

Characterization of Macrophage-Like Cells in Retinal Vein Occlusion Using En Face Optical Coherence Tomography

Yunkao Zeng et al.

Summary: The study investigated the clinical features of MLCs obtained by en face OCT in RVO patients, finding that MLC density increased and morphology changed in RVO eyes. More MLCs were recruited in the perfused region, positively correlated with macular thickness.

Imaging the dynamics of individual processes of microglia in the living retina in vivo

A. B. Y. Joseph et al.

Summary: Microglia, essential immune cells in the CNS and retina, were studied in healthy mice using innovative imaging techniques. The research revealed the dynamic behavior of microglial processes at various levels, providing insights into their responses under different conditions. Additionally, a label-free imaging method was demonstrated, offering a new opportunity to study the CNS immune system noninvasively.

The role of inflammation and neurodegeneration in diabetic macular edema

Vincenzo Starace et al.

Summary: The pathogenesis of diabetic macular edema (DME) is complex and involves multiple factors such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction, along with early neurodegenerative changes. Despite increasing knowledge on the pathways involved in DME, therapeutic options are limited, with antiangiogenic drugs and intravitreal corticosteroids being the main choices currently available. Alternative therapeutic options targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurodegeneration are being considered, but none have been approved yet.

Macrophage-Like Cell Density Is Increased in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Characterized by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Janice X. Ong et al.

Summary: MLC density is significantly increased in PDR, especially in perivascular areas and on blood vessels. MLCs are more likely to cluster on blood vessels in diabetic eyes, suggesting a potential role in diabetic retinopathy pathogenesis. Further studies are needed to explore the origin, identity, and function of MLCs in DR.
