Monocyte-derived macrophages promote retinal damage after ischemic stroke via IL-1β-dependent mechanism

Puntos clave

• Retinal damage occurs after ischemic stroke, highlighting the role of inflammation.
• IL-1β levels were significantly elevated, showing a clear link to retinal injury.
• This observational analysis focuses on the inflammatory response in ischemic models involving macrophages.
• Findings suggest monocyte-derived macrophages may contribute to retinal damage, calling for targeted therapies.
