Central corneal endothelial guttae and age-related macular degeneration : is there an association?
The similarities between the corneal endothelium and retinal pigment epithelium in terms of their embryology, barrier function and predilection to age-related degeneration prompted this investigation into a possible association between central corneal ...

Age-related changes in the macula. A histopathological study of fifty Indian donor eyes
PURPOSE: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is clinically less common in India compared to the West. Therefore, clinicians are unfamiliar with histopathologic evidence of age-related macular changes in the Indian population.

Microtubule motors transport phagosomes in the RPE, and lack of KLC1 leads to AMD-like pathogenesis. [PDF]
The degradation of phagosomes, derived from the ingestion of photoreceptor outer segment (POS) disk membranes, is a major role of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Here, POS phagosomes were observed to associate with myosin-7a, and then kinesin-1, as
