Monocyte-derived pro-angiogenic ocular macrophages identified by spatial transcriptomics are essential for choroidal neovascularization.
It is shown that this Monocyte-derived Pro-angiogenic Ocular Macrophage (MoPOM) subtype is upregulated in multiple ocular neovascular diseases across species, necessary for choroidal neovascularization, and is a potential therapeutic target to reduce destructive angiogenesis in the eye.
