Scaffolds for retinal pigment epithelial cell transplantation in age-related macular degeneration
In several retinal degenerative diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, the retinal pigment epithelium, a highly functionalized cell monolayer, becomes dysfunctional.

Advances in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment [PDF]
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 ...

MFGE8 does not influence chorio-retinal homeostasis or choroidal neovascularization in vivo [PDF]
Purpose: Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-factor VIII (MFGE8) is necessary for diurnal outer segment phagocytosis and promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization.

The ocular albinism type 1 protein, an intracellular G protein-coupled receptor, regulates melanosome transport in pigment cells [PDF]
The protein product of the ocular albinism type 1 gene, named OA1, is a pigment cell-specific G protein-coupled receptor exclusively localized to intracellular organelles, namely lysosomes and melanosomes.

Hamartomas of the Retina and Optic Disc
Hamartomas are local malformation of cells that demonstrate abnormal proliferation in the area where they are normally present. Retinal and optic disc hamartomas include astrocytic hamartoma, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium ...

Deficiency in Lyst function leads to accumulation of secreted proteases and reduced retinal adhesion
Chediak–Higashi syndrome, caused by mutations in the Lysosome Trafficking Regulator (Lyst) gene, is a recessive hypopigmentation disorder characterized by albinism, neuropathies, neurodegeneration, and defective immune responses, with enlargement of ...
