Myeloid cell response to retinal ischemic injury. Illustration of the myeloid cell inflammatory response (left) and reparative response (right) to IR. In the left panel, ameboid microglia secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the right panel, secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines and efferocytosis by myeloid cells can help to resolve inflammation. Although the myeloid cell phagocytic response is reported in the inner retina after ischemic injury, its roles in pathology progression and retinal outcomes are unknown, as denoted by the question mark
