Immunological Molecular Responses of Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells to Infection With Toxoplasma gondii

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Ocular toxoplasmosis is the commonest clinical manifestation of infection with obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Active ocular toxoplasmosis is characterized by replication of T.

The function of photomechanical movements in the retina of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) [PDF]

, 1982
1. The function of photomechanical movements in the retina of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was investigated by determining both the effect of light on the level of extractable visual pigment, and the electroretinographic b-wave sensitivity, during ...

Sorafenib prevents human retinal pigment epithelium cells from light-induced overexpression of VEGF, PDGF and PlGF [PDF]

, 2010
Background Cumulative light exposure is significantly associated with progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor is the main target of current antiangiogenic treatment strategies in AMD ...

Induction of Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells from Monkey iPS Cells

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2011
The induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell is expected to be a powerful tool for research and development in regenerative medicine. Previously, the authors reported that human iPS cells differentiated into retinal cells, including photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelial cells.

Neovascular age‐related macular degeneration without drusen

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To describe the clinical characteristics and 1‐year follow‐up of patients with neovascular AMD (nAMD) without drusen in either eye. Methods This is a multicentre retrospective cohort study in three tertiary referral centres in The Netherlands. We included patients of 55 years or older with nAMD in one or both eyes, without the presence

Exploring ocular fundus morphology in relation to growth in adolescents born moderate‐to‐late preterm

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study ocular fundus morphology and its relation to growth in adolescents born moderate‐to‐late preterm (MLP) and full term. Methods This prospective and population‐based cohort study included 50 MLP adolescents (26 girls, mean age 16.5 years) and 50 full‐term controls (30 girls, mean age 16.7 years).

Characterization of retinal pigment epithelium layer in healthy and diseased retinas with high‐resolution adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination imaging

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is critical in the pathophysiology of retinal diseases, such as age‐related macular degeneration. Adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination (AO‐TFI) offers rapid, detailed morphometric characterization of the RPE layer.
