    Uveitis is characterized by intraocular inflammation linked to infectious, autoimmune, genetic, or environmental factors.

  • 2

    Various forms of cell death, including pyroptosis and ferroptosis, play critical roles in the pathogenesis of uveitis.

  • 3

    Pyroptosis triggers immune responses and can cause tissue damage, particularly through the activation of macrophages and microglial cells.

  • 4

    Therapeutic strategies targeting cell death pathways may enhance the development of uveitis-specific biomarkers and personalized treatments.

  • 5

    Research into cell death mechanisms provides insights into potential therapeutic applications for managing uveitis and related conditions.
