Near-infrared fundus autoflorescence imaging in solar retinopathy
GMS Ophthalmology Cases, 2017 Solar retinopathy is a rare clinical entity caused by photochemical damage to the retinal pigment epithelium layer and photoreceptors of the fovea. Here we describe a case of a 33-year-old female patient diagnosed by near-infrared fundus autofluorescence

Succinate Can Shuttle Reducing Power from the Hypoxic Retina to the O2-Rich Pigment Epithelium
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: When O2 is plentiful, the mitochondrial electron transport chain uses it as a terminal electron acceptor. However, the mammalian retina thrives in a hypoxic niche in the eye.

Photodynamic Therapy Treatment for Eyes with Drusenoid Pigment Epithelium Detachment [PDF]
Korean Journal of Ophthalmology, 2008 We report the clinical course of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a patient with drusenoid pigment epithelium detachment (PED). A patient with drusenoid PED underwent PDT follow-up was carried out at one week, one month, three months, six months and one year after treatment.

Eye development: a view from the retina pigmented epithelium
BioEssays, 2004 AbstractThe retina pigment epithelium (RPE) is a highly specialised epithelium that serves as a multifunctional and indispensable component of the vertebrate eye. Although a great deal of attention has been paid to its transdifferentiation capabilities and its ancillary functions in neural retina development, little is known about the molecular ...

Dual roles of the retinal pigment epithelium and lens in cavefish eye degeneration [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2019 Abstract Astyanax mexicanus consists of two forms, a sighted surface dwelling form (surface fish) and a blind cave‐dwelling form (cavefish). Embryonic eyes are initially formed in cavefish but they are subsequently arrested in growth and degenerate during larval development.

Biological effects of cigarette smoke in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 2012 The goal of the present study was to determine whether treatment with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induces cell loss, cellular senescence, and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis in primary human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Primary cultured
