Resident Tissue Macrophages Govern Intraocular Pressure Homeostasis Intraocular pressure is tightly regulated by the conventional outflow tissues, preventing ocular hypertension that leads to neurodegeneration of the optic nerve, or glaucoma. Although macrophages reside throughout the conventional outflow tract, their role in regulating intraocular pressure remains unknown. Using macrophage lineage tracing approaches, we uncovered a dual macrophage ontogeny with distinct spatial organizations across the mouse lifespan. Long-lived, resident tissue macrophages concentrated in the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal, whereas short-lived monocyte-derived macrophages, instead, were abundant around distal vessels. Specific depletion of resident tissue macrophages triggered elevated intraocular pressure and outflow resistance, linked to aberrant extracellular matrix turnover in the resistance-generating tissues of the trabecular meshwork. This dysregulated physiology and tissue remodeling were not observed when we depleted monocyte-derived macrophages. Results show ontogeny and tissue-specific macrophage function within the outflow tract, uncovering the integral homeostatic role of resident tissue macrophages in resistance-generating tissues whose dysfunction is responsible for glaucoma. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

👀 Macrophages matter for more than just immunity!
This preprint from @sabanlab.bsky.social reveals resident tissue macrophages control eye pressure by regulating extracellular matrix in the trabecular meshwork. Just discussed in @natrevimmunol.nature.com.

This is just horrible.

The FY25 CR obliterates the already small funding allocations for the development of new treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and glioblastoma.... for what purpose?

These are three of the deadliest types of cancer.

We are looking for a PhD candidate starting on the 01-10-2025. The project aims to understand how the host cells use copper and oxidative species to fight Salmonella infection and how this pathogen evades this antimicrobial response.
