Dry eye disease (DED), a multifactorial ocular surface disease, is estimated to affect up to 34% of individuals over 50 years old. Although numerous animal models, including rodents and rabbits, have been developed to mimic the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in dry eye, there is a lack of non-human primate (NHP) models, critical for translational drug studies. Here, we developed a novel desiccating stress-induced dry eye disease model using Rhesus macaque monkeys.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study found that MSCs express high levels of CD80, which plays a crucial role in increasing the expression of FoxP3 in Tregs, necessary for their function, in a contact-dependent way.
  • * When CD80 was silenced in MSCs, their ability to promote Treg activity and corneal transplant survival was significantly reduced, indicating the importance of CD80 in this process.

Background: Glioma is a common malignant tumor worldwide. Sevoflurane (Sev) has been reported to inhibit the metastasis of glioma cells, but the underlying molecular mechanism needs further exploration.

Methods: Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay was used to check cell viability.
