Research Abstract |
We performed the study of vitreoretinal diseases from the points of its pathogenesis, molecular mechanism, and treatment. First, the relationship between intravitreous damage-associated molecular pattern and retinal damage was analyzed. As a result, retinal pathology was strongly affected not only by bioactive molecules such as cytokines, but rather by damaged cells and its related proteins. The experimental treatment using KO animals was very effective. The present findings are quite beneficial for developing a new treatment with minimal tissue damage.
