Targeted delivery of autoantigen to dendritic cells prevents development of spontaneous uveitis
Restoration of immunological tolerance to self antigens has been a major drive in understanding the mechanisms of, and developing new treatments for, autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease.

Tissue-resident exhausted effector memory CD8+ T cells accumulate in the retina during chronic experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis. [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis is a model for noninfectious posterior segment intraocular inflammation in humans. Although this disease is CD4(+) T cell dependent, in the persistent phase of disease CD8(+) T cells accumulate.

Kallistatin Attenuates Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis by Inhibiting Activation of T Cells
Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) is a mouse model of human autoimmune uveitis. EAU spontaneously resolves and is marked by ocular autoantigen-specific regulatory immunity in the spleen.

Non‐infectious uveitis has a range of ocular and systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory causes. When the retina is involved, blood‐retinal barrier breakdown can lead to vision loss. Specific cytokines stand out as promoting intraocular inflammation. This article reviews the involvement of inflammatory cytokines – including tumour necrosis factor (TNF)

Monoclonal antibody-mediated CD200 receptor signaling suppresses macrophage activation and tissue damage in experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis. [PDF]
Macrophage responses are regulated by multiple secreted factors as well as by cell surface receptors, including the inhibitory signals resulting from ligation of myeloid CD200 receptors (CD200R) by the widely distributed CD200.

A guide to the chemist's toolbox for the stimulation of invariant natural killer (iNKT) cells. This Review encompasses the synthetic strategies for the preparation of the iNKT cell agonist α‐galactosylceramide (αGalCer), its TH1/TH2 skewing analogs, and other synthetic probes for the elucidation of mechanisms of αGalCer trafficking.

Advances in exosome therapies in ophthalmology–From bench to clinical trial
Abstract During the last decade, the fields of advanced and personalized therapeutics have been constantly evolving, utilizing novel techniques such as gene editing and RNA therapeutic approaches. However, the method of delivery and tissue specificity remain the main hurdles of these approaches.

Osteopontin Aggravates Experimental Autoimmune Uveoretinitis in Mice [PDF]
Abstract Human endogenous uveitis is a common sight-threatening intraocular inflammatory disease and has been studied extensively using a murine model of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU). It is possibly mediated by Th1 immune responses.

Immunopathophysiology and clinical impact of uveitis in inflammatory rheumatic diseases: An update
Abstract Background Uveitis is one of the most frequent ophthalmologic manifestations in rheumatology. Uveal inflammation can underlie a systemic inflammatory rheumatic disease (SIRD) in approximately 30% of cases with a significant burden on the quality of life since it represents a cause of blindness in up to 20% of cases in Western countries ...
