Interleukin-4 prevents increased endothelial permeability by inducing pericyte survival and modulating microglial responses in diabetic retinopathy

IntroductionRetinal vascular leakage due to increased endothelial permeability is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and visual impairment. Pericyte loss and microglia-mediated inflammation exacerbate this vascular dysfunction. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is known for its...
