Overproduction of 42 Amino Acids Long Amyloid Beta Leads to Activation of Secretory Autophagy and Development of Drusen-Like Structures Originating From Retinal Pigment Epithelium. [PDF]

FASEB J
The role of 42 amino acids long amyloid beta (Aβ) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was investigated using 5xFAD mice model overproducing Aβ. The RPE cells of 5xFAD mice showed increased oxidative stress, accumulation of autophagy‐destined proteins, increased expression of secretory autophagy markers, and increase in epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal ...

Cuticular drusen

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology - Case Reports, 2021
A 30-year-old woman presented to the OPD, and during the course of her retinal examination she was seen to have multiple drusen in both the eyes. Based on her age, drusen appearance, distribution, autofluorescence, star in the sky appearance on angiography, and sub-RPE location on SD-OCT, she was diagnosed as having Cuticular ...

Clinical manifestations of cuticular drusen in Korean patients

Scientific Reports, 2020
Cuticular drusen show some similarities to and differences from soft drusen in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and might thus be a unique AMD subtype. Previous studies on cuticular drusen were performed mainly in white ethnic groups, but AMD shows
