This study elucidates macrophage‐induced orbital fibrosis in TED via the GAS6‐AXL pathway, a treatment‐resistant disorder lacking non‐surgical therapies. Using a novel patient cell‐derived orthotopic animal model of orbital fibrosis for TED, we repurpose an existing fibrosis therapy, addressing the absence of stable models and offering a potential ...

Glymphatic System Dysfunction in Thyroid‐Associated Ophthalmopathy: A Multimodal MRI Study
TAO patients exhibit impaired glymphatic function, with reduced DTI‐ALPS indices and gBOLD‐CSF coupling, but unchanged choroid plexus volume. These alterations correlate with neuropsychological symptoms and sleep disturbances. Restoring glymphatic activity may offer a therapeutic approach to enhance patient outcomes.
