Popis: The invasion of microbial pathogens and/or sterile inflammation caused by physical/chemical injuries, increased ocular pressure, oxidative stress, and ischemia could lead to the generation of detrimental immune responses in the eyes, which result in excessive tissue injury and vision loss. The bioavailability of eye drops that are enriched with immunoregulatory and trophic factors which may concurrently suppress intraocular inflammation and promote tissue repair and regeneration is generally low. We recently developed “derived- Multiple Allogeneic Proteins Paracrine Signaling regenerative biologics platform technology d-MAPPS™”, a bioengineered biological product which is enriched with immunomodulatory and trophic factors that can efficiently suppress detrimental immune responses in the eye and promote the repair and regeneration of injured corneal and retinal tissues. The results obtained in preclinical and clinical studies showed that d-MAPPS™ increased the viability of injured corneal cells, inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines in immune cells, alleviated inflammation, and restored vision loss in patients suffering from meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease. Herewith, we emphasized molecular mechanisms responsible for the therapeutic efficacy of d-MAPPS™ and we presented the main beneficial effects of d-MAPPS™ in clinical settings, indicating that the topical administration of d-MAPPS™ could be considered a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases and for the repair and regeneration of injured corneal and retinal tissues.
