Application of Agents Against Interferon-Gamma-Dependent Chemokines in Immunotherapy [PDF]
The CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR) 3 and its chemokines (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11) are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disesases. Under the influence of interferon (IFN) γ, the IFNγ-inducible chemokines are secreted by lymphocytes, and by ...

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.

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 ...

Corneal Confocal Microscopy to Diagnose Peripheral Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Peripheral neuropathy (PN) may be diagnosed late or may remain undiagnosed. Studies have shown that measurement of corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL) using corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) may have diagnostic utility in diabetic and other peripheral neuropathies. Methods The main databases [CENTRAL, Embase (Ovid), and
