Retinal prostheses in degenerative retinal diseases
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2015 Degenerative retinal diseases may lead to significant loss of vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which eventually affect the photoreceptors, are the two most common retinal degenerative diseases. Once the photoreceptorcells are lost, there are no known effective therapies for AMD or RP.

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

Microperimetry in Retinal Diseases
Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023 Retinal microperimetry (MP) is a procedure that assesses the retinal sensitivity while the fundus is directly observed, and an eye tracker system is active to compensate for involuntary eye movements during testing. With this system, the sensitivity of a small locus can be accurately determined, and it has become an established ophthalmic test for ...

Retinal glycoprotein enrichment by concanavalin a enabled identification of novel membrane autoantigen synaptotagmin-1 in equine recurrent uveitis. [PDF]
, 2012 Complete knowledge of autoantigen spectra is crucial for understanding pathomechanisms of autoimmune diseases like equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), a spontaneous model for human autoimmune uveitis. While several ERU autoantigens were identified previously,

Diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Diseases [PDF]
Klinische Monatsblätter für Augenheilkunde, 2021 AbstractInherited retinal diseases are a frequent cause of severe visual impairment or blindness in children and adults of working age. Across this group of diseases, there is great variability in the degree of visual impairment, the impact on everyday life, disease progression, and the suitability to therapeutic intervention.

Sphingolipids as emerging mediators in retina degeneration [PDF]
, 2019 The sphingolipids ceramide (Cer), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), sphingosine (Sph), and ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) are key signaling molecules that regulate major cellular functions.

Inflammation in Retinal Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Inflammation, 2013 Ocular inflammation and its related complications are important causes of vision loss. Inflammatory processes have long been implicated in the pathogenesis and sequelae of noninfectious uveitis and understood to underlie the macular edema which may arise following even uncomplicated intraocular surgeries [1].

Autoimmune and autoinflammatory mechanisms in uveitis [PDF]
, 2014 The eye, as currently viewed, is neither immunologically ignorant nor sequestered from the systemic environment. The eye utilises distinct immunoregulatory mechanisms to preserve tissue and cellular function in the face of immune-mediated insult ...
