Microbial Diversity in Mouse Feces, Retina, and RPE/Choroid after Retinal Laser Injury
Research Objectives:To understand the interaction between microbiome and host tissue, particularly the neural retina that is protected from barriers, in normal and injury conditions.Relevance:Relevance:This research is of critical importance as it demonstrated that the microbiota in the gut, retina, and RPE/choroid are connected, and gut microbiota can detect retinal injury and respond accordingly.
