Metallothionein 3 regulates cuproptosis in rat retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury via the Atox1–ATP7a axis
Retinal ischemia–reperfusion injury (RIRI) is a major pathologic process leading to visual impairment and even blindness. Its pathogenesis is complex, and effective targeted therapeutic approaches remain limited. Cuproptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death, has not been fully characterized in the...
