CRISPR-LbCpf1 prevents choroidal neovascularization in a mouse model of age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
LbCpf1, derived from Lachnospiraceae bacterium ND2006, is a CRISPR RNA-guided endonuclease and holds promise for therapeutic applications. Here we show that LbCpf1 can be used for therapeutic gene editing in a mouse model of age-related macular ...

Pregnancy as a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Pregnancy induces significant changes in the body, including increased peripheral and choroidal blood perfusion and an increased systemic corticosteroid level. Here, we systematically reviewed the evidence on pregnancy as a risk factor for developing central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and conducted a meta‐analysis to obtain a ...

Characterization of retinal pigment epithelium layer in healthy and diseased retinas with high‐resolution adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination imaging

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is critical in the pathophysiology of retinal diseases, such as age‐related macular degeneration. Adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination (AO‐TFI) offers rapid, detailed morphometric characterization of the RPE layer.

Axial length, myopia progression, and myopic maculopathy in Stickler syndrome

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose We lack knowledge on the potentially progressive nature of and the prevalence of complications to myopia as a characteristic trait of Stickler syndrome. Methods This cross‐sectional study combines ophthalmic examination and medical record data on Danish patients with genetically confirmed Stickler syndrome type 1 (COL2A1) and type 2 ...
