Editorial: New Insights Into Uveitis: Immunity, Genes, and Microbes

Abstract

Uveitis, comprised of a clinically heterogenous group of more than 100 subtypes with diverse etiologies, is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Both innate and adaptive immune responses are reported to be actively involved in the development of uveitis. The occurrence of uveitis is multifactorial, with genetic inheritance, immune dysregulation, gut microbiota abnormalities, and environmental factors involved. This Research Topic aimed at bringing together contributions covering various aspects related to the pathogenesis of uveitis, with the hope to drive forward a more detailed and in-depth understanding of this challenging disease.
