Pathology, multimodal imaging and clinical significance of age-related fundus deposits
Fundus aging is a key factor and pathological basis for the development and progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is histopathologically characterized by choroidal capillary atrophy, Bruch’s membrane(BrM) thickening, and ...

Apolipoprotein E promotes subretinal mononuclear phagocyte survival and chronic inflammation in age-related macular degeneration [PDF]
International audiencePhysiologically, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) expresses immunosuppressive signals such as FAS ligand (FASL), which prevents the accumulation of leukocytes in the subretinal space.

Somatostatin receptor 2A expression in choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration [PDF]
PURPOSE: The growth of ocular neovascularization is regulated by a balance between stimulating and inhibiting growth factors. Somatostatin affects angiogenesis by inhibiting the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis

Long-term effect of prophylactic laser treatment for bilateral soft drusen.
Large drusen is a known risk factor for the development of late complications of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and drusen reduction has been found by our previous study. To prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser treatment in Chinese patients with bilateral soft drusen, we examined the structure and function of the

Age-related changes in the macula. A histopathological study of fifty Indian donor eyes
PURPOSE: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is clinically less common in India compared to the West. Therefore, clinicians are unfamiliar with histopathologic evidence of age-related macular changes in the Indian population.
