Association between G protein polymorphisms (GNAS1 T393C and GNB3 C825T) and course of Graves’ disease and Graves’ orbitopathy [PDF]
Summary The biology of initiation and progression of Graves’ hyperthyroidism and Graves’ orbitopathy is complex. For the individually tailored therapy of the diseases it is very important to identify the risk factors.

Building the case for insulin-like growth factor receptor-I involvement in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy [PDF]
The pathogenesis of orbital Graves' disease (GD), a process known as thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), remains incompletely understood. The thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) represents the central autoantigen involved in GD and has been proposed as the ...

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 ...

Graves′ orbitopathy: Management of difficult cases
Management of Graves′ ophthalmopathy (GO) is based on three pillars: to stop smoking, to restore and maintain euthyroidism, and to treat the eye changes according to severity and activity of GO.

ABSTRACT Photoreceptor transplantation is being studied to restore visual function in retinal diseases causing blindness, including age‐related macular degeneration, hereditary eye diseases, and traumatic retinopathy. Preclinical studies often involve delivering exogenous human photoreceptor cells into animal models' retinas.

Selenium improves mild Graves’Orbitopathy: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. [PDF]
Background Free oxygen radicals and cytokines play a pathogenic role in Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). This study reports the results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on the effect of selenium, an antioxidant agent, or pentoxifylline ...

Extra-ocular muscle MRI in genetically-defined mitochondrial disease [PDF]
Conventional and quantitative MRI was performed in patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), a common manifestation of mitochondrial disease, to characterise MRI findings in the extra-ocular muscles (EOMs) and investigate whether

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.
