Identification of Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor in the Interphotoreceptor Matrix of Bovine Eyes

Protein Expression and Purification, 1995
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a neurotrophic protein and a member of the serine protease inhibitor superfamily. Here we describe the identification of PEDF in bovine eyes and optimization of its purification from this natural source.

Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors elicits pigment granule dispersion in retinal pigment epithelium isolated from bluegill

BMC Neuroscience, 2004
Background In fish, melanin pigment granules in the retinal pigment epithelium disperse into apical projections as part of the suite of responses the eye makes to bright light conditions.

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

Zebrafish ventral gastrula fate map reveals neural crest progenitor domain

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fate maps relate progenitor cell positions to later fates and locations of their progeny, revealing early embryonic organization. Previous zebrafish fate maps identified the origin of germ layers and derivative cell fates, but ventral gastrula progenitor domains were not fully resolved. In particular, the neural crest, a multipotent

MIT/TFE family transcription factors, Mitf and Tfec, redundantly promote pigment cell differentiation and retinal epithelium pigmentation in teleosts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology: From Methodological Advances to Clinical Translation and Future Directions

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping ophthalmology from task‐specific image analysis toward multimodal, longitudinal, and clinically integrated decision support. This narrative review summarizes the methodological evolution of ophthalmic AI, including traditional machine learning, task‐specific deep learning, self‐supervised learning ...

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Research progress on the use of the optical coherence tomography system for the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system tumors

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 3-18, Spring 2025.
With the advantages of high‐resolution imaging, efficient image acquisition, intraoperative real‐time detection, and radiation‐free and noninvasive characteristics, optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides accurate diagnosis and effective intraoperative guidance for the minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system (CNS ...

Dissecting the angiogenic mechanism of pachychoroid polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

iMeta, EarlyView.
A prognosis‐oriented classification system was established to distinguish Pachy PCV from Non‐pachy PCV using a large multicenter dataset. Comparative plasma multi‐omics profiling of Pachy PCV, Non‐pachy PCV, and normal controls revealed unique upregulation of the fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis (FSS‐AS) and HIF‐1 signaling pathways in Pachy PCV.

Low‐contrast visual acuity versus low‐luminance visual acuity in choroideremia

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, EarlyView., 2020
Clinical relevance Choroideremia is a progressive X‐linked inherited rod‐cone dystrophy. Patients present with nyctalopia and progressive visual field loss, but visual acuity remains well preserved early on. This study showed that low‐luminance visual acuity may be a useful clinical outcome measure during earlier disease stages.
