Senescence Alters Antimicrobial Peptide Expression and Induces Amyloid‐β Production in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Healthy RPE cells produce AMPs and AMP precursors, including amyloid precursor protein (APP) and chemerin, and protect the neuroretina from blood‐borne pathogens and maintain homeostasis. When RPE cells undergo senescence, the antibacterial activity declines, and APP undergoes amylogenesis, leading to Aβ deposition.

Age‐Dependent Histone Deacetylase 3 Regulation by βA3/A1‐Crystallin and Inositol Hexaphosphate in Retinal Pigmented Epithelial Cells Reveals a Novel Pathway in Age‐Related Macular Degeneration

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
βA3/A1‐crystallin regulates HDAC3 activity and epigenetic processes in the RPE. (A) The illustration demonstrates that βA3/A1‐crystallin plays a crucial role in maintaining IPMK protein expression, which in turn activates HDAC3. (B) When βA3/A1‐crystallin is absent (Cryba1 KO ), IPMK protein expression decreases, resulting in the deactivation of HDAC3.

Biomaterial engineering strategies for modeling the Bruch’s membrane in age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research
Age-related macular degeneration, a multifactorial inflammatory degenerative retinal disease, ranks as the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Strikingly, there is a scarcity of curative therapies, especially for the atrophic advanced form of age ...

Tracking visual outcomes – Follow‐up on patients born preterm with childhood‐onset visual impairment

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Preterm birth is associated with a risk of ocular complications. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the main cause of visual impairment (VI) in a cohort of preterm born patients who had childhood‐onset VI. The association between health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and age, cause—and severity of VI and impairment type was ...

Choroidal changes and association with Gaussian curvature in high myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma in ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate choroidal changes in high myopic (HM) patients with posterior staphyloma (PS) and explore their association with Gaussian curvature (K) using ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF‐OCTA). Methods HM patients with wide macular PS (Type I PS) and without any PS (control) were recruited.
