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.

Profound Re-Organization of Cell Surface Proteome in Equine Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells in Response to In Vitro Culturing [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of this study was to characterize the cell surface proteome of native compared to cultured equine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. The RPE plays an essential role in visual function and represents the outer blood-retinal barrier.

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 ...

Modern trends in diagnostics and prediction of results of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy of pigment epithelial detachment in neovascular agerelated macular degeneration using deep machine learning method (literature review)

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2021
Detachment of the pigment epithelium is the separation of the basement membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium from the inner collagen layer of Bruch’s membrane, which occurs in 80 % of cases in patients with neovascular age-related macular ...
