Functions and Diseases of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 The retinal pigment epithelium is a fundamental component of the retina that plays essential roles in visual functions. Damage to the structure and function of the retinal pigment epithelium leads to a variety of retinopathies, and there is currently no ...

The bisretinoids of retinal pigment epithelium [PDF]
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2012 The retina exhibits an inherent autofluorescence that is imaged ophthalmoscopically as fundus autofluorescence. In clinical settings, fundus autofluorescence examination aids in the diagnosis and follow-up of many retinal disorders. Fundus autofluorescence originates from the complex mixture of bisretinoid fluorophores that are amassed by retinal ...

Retinal Pigment Epithelium Tear [PDF]
Current Ophthalmology Reports, 2014 Retinal pigment epithelium tear is a potentially vision threatening complication of retinal pigment epithelial detachment associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Retinal pigment epithelium tear has been reported to occur spontaneously and after treatment with anti-vascular growth endothelial factor agents.

Setting Eyes on the Retinal Pigment Epithelium [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 The neural component of the zebrafish eye derives from a small group of cells known as the eye/retinal field. These cells, positioned in the anterior neural plate, rearrange extensively and generate the optic vesicles (OVs). Each vesicle subsequently folds over itself to form the double-layered optic cup, from which the mature eye derives.

Advances in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019 The pathogenesis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment depends on three factors, namely, retinal rupture, vitreous liquefaction and traction causing the retina to separate from the pigment epithelium, among which retinal rupture is the most important ...
