From Dysbiosis to Disease: The Microbiome's Influence on Uveitis Pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT: The microbiome, comprising the diverse microbial communities inhabiting the human body, has emerged as a critical factor in regulating immune function and inflammation. The relationship between the microbiome and uveitis represents a promising frontier in ophthalmological research, with the microbiome increasingly implicated in disease onset and progression. Research has predominantly focused on the gut microbiome, with animal studies providing evidence that dysbiosis is a key factor in autoimmunity. As the understanding of the microbiome increases, so does the potential for developing innovative treatments that leverage the microbiome's impact on immune and inflammatory processes. Future research will be crucial for deciphering the complexities of the interaction between the microbiome an
