ApoE‐ and Cfh‐deficient mice exhibit structural and molecular features of human early–intermediate retinal degeneration

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) involves lipid dysregulation and complement overactivation. Here, we characterize a double‐knockout ApoE−/−/Cfh−/− mouse as a model of early–intermediate retinal degeneration. These mice exhibit retinal pigment epithelium thinning, Bruch's membrane thickening, lipid accumulation, enhanced C5b‐9 deposition ...

Nuclear factor of activated T cells as a driver of tumor progression and a target for precision therapy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Overview illustration of dysregulated NFAT activation coordinating upstream signaling, post‐translational regulation and cancer promoting pathways to induce abnormal gene expression that drives tumor development, progression and immune escape. Abstract The Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells (NFAT) family comprises closely related transcription factors.

mRNA vaccination mitigates pathological retinochoroidal neovascularization in animal models

Vaccine
Retinochoroidal neovascularization (NV), involved in macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other ocular diseases, causes vision impairment and blindness. Current treatments rely on repeated intraocular injections of anti-angiogenic drugs, which are burdensome for patients and clinicians, and some patients fail to respond to the treatments ...

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Cost–benefit analysis of screening programme for diabetic retinopathy in Bulgaria

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Late‐diagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR) is difficult and expensive to treat. Screening programmes can identify the disease early and reduce the costs of its future treatment. This study aims to analyse the cost–benefit of screening programmes for DR.
