Microglia inhibit photoreceptor cell death and regulate immune cell infiltration in response to retinal detachment [Immunology and Inflammation]

Retinal detachment (RD) is a sight-threatening complication common in many highly prevalent retinal disorders. RD rapidly leads to photoreceptor cell death beginning within 12 h following detachment. In patients with sustained RD, progressive visual decline due to photoreceptor cell death is common, leading to significant and permanent loss of vision....
