Several studies claim that IL-1β is secreted by microglia after photo-oxidative damage (Hu et al., 2015; Jiao et al., 2015; Natoli et al., 2017), in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (Lavalette et al., 2011), in retinitis pigmentosa (Zhao et al., 2015), and after retinal detachment (Kataoka et al., 2015). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and retinal detachment.
