In this pilot study, we analyze the effects of CAD-induced chronic reduced retinal blood flow on optic nerve thickness and retinal morphology and function.
Although surprising, this protection may be caused by a chronic reduced mitochondrial efficiency [ 13, 18], due to two mitochondrial heteroplasmies identified in these mice [ 20].
Hepcidin is a major regulator of iron metabolism and plays a key role in anemia of chronic disease, reducing intestinal iron uptake and release from body iron stores.
Therefore, flexible devices are hypothesized to reduce chronic inflammatory tissue response by reducing chronic tissue strain and thereby improving tissue integration.
