Targeted P2X7/NLRP3 signaling pathway against inflammation, apoptosis, and pyroptosis of retinal endothelial cells in diabetic retinopathy
Abstract Retinal endothelial cells (RECs) are the primary target cells for diabetes-induced vascular damage. The P2X7/NLRP3 pathway plays an essential role in amplifying inflammation via an ATP feedback loop, promoting the inflammatory response, pyroptosis, and apoptosis of RECs in the early stages...
