Infection control in the brain and the eye

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Interpreting the structure–function relationship in high myopia‐associated glaucoma: A review

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual field (VF) interpretation in high myopia‐associated glaucoma (HMG) is challenging due to frequent structure–function discordance and coexisting myopia‐related changes. These changes may reduce the reliability of conventional structure–function mapping and increase the risk of misclassifying non‐glaucomatous VF abnormalities as ...

Harnessing Metabolic Priming to Engineer Human Nucleus Pulposus Macromass Overcoming Scalability‐Phenotype Tradeoff

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human platelet lysate acts as a metabolic primer for hNPCs, enhancing fatty acid oxidation to drive proliferation while preserving phenotype. This enables construction of high‐quality, large‐size macromasses without necrotic defects, demonstrating exceptional efficacy in repairing degenerated discs in situ and providing a novel paradigm for ...
