Biochemical adaptations of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium support a metabolic ecosystem in the vertebrate eye

open access: goldbioRxiv, 2017
Here we report multiple lines of evidence for a comprehensive model for retinal energy metabolism. Metabolic flux, locations of key enzymes and our finding that glucose enters the neural retina almost entirely through photoreceptors support a ...

The blood–retina barrier in health and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2021
The blood–retina barrier (BRB) is the term used to define the properties of the retinal capillaries and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which separate the systemic circulation from the retina. More specifically, the inner blood–retina barrier (iBRB)

Retina Metabolism and Metabolism in the Pigmented Epithelium: A Busy Intersection.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Vision Science, 2021
The outer retina is nourished from the choroid, a capillary bed just inside the sclera. O2, glucose, and other nutrients diffuse out of the choroid and then filter through a monolayer of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells to fuel the retina.

Identification of early pericyte loss and vascular amyloidosis in Alzheimer’s disease retina

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica, 2020
Pericyte loss and deficient vascular platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFRβ) signaling are prominent features of the blood–brain barrier breakdown described in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that can predict cognitive decline yet have never been ...

Central posterior hyaloid fibrosis: evolution and outcomes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Retina and Vitreous, 2023
Purpose To report contributory factors and clinical outcomes of central posterior hyaloid fibrosis (CPHF) associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Methods In this retrospective, single-center study, patients with CPHF and nAMD

Reflections on the Utility of the Retina as a Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease: A Literature Review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As a part of the central nervous system, the retina may reflect both physiologic processes and abnormalities related to diseases of the brain. Indeed, a concerted effort has been put forth to understand how Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology may manifest

CNTF and retina [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2012
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is one of the most studied neurotrophic factors for neuroprotection of the retina. A large body of evidence demonstrates that CNTF promotes rod photoreceptor survival in almost all animal models. Recent studies indicate that CNTF also promotes cone photoreceptor survival and cone outer segment regeneration in the ...

FREAK: Fast Retina Keypoint

open access: yes2012 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012
A large number of vision applications rely on matching keypoints across images. The last decade featured an arms-race towards faster and more robust keypoints and association algorithms: Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)[17], Speed-up Robust ...

Non-viral delivery and optimized optogenetic stimulation of retinal ganglion cells led to behavioral restoration of vision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Stimulation of retinal neurons using optogenetics via use of chanelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) has opened up a new direction for restoration of vision for treatment of retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Neural ensemble decoding reveals a correlate of viewer- to object-centered spatial transformation in monkey parietal cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The parietal cortex contains representations of space in multiple coordinate systems including retina-, head-, body-, and world-based systems. Previously, we found that when monkeys are required to perform spatial computations on objects, many neurons in
