Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among the
elderly in developed countries. AMD is classified as either neovascular (NV-AMD) or non …

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains retinal function as the metabolic gatekeeper
between photoreceptors (PRs) and the choriocapillaries. The RPE and Bruch's membrane …

The death of photoreceptor cells caused by retinal degenerative diseases often results in a
complete loss of retinal responses to light. We explore the feasibility of converting inner …

It has long been believed that the retina of mature mammals is incapable of regeneration. In
this study, using the N-methyl-d-aspartate neurotoxicity model of adult rat retina, we …

Progressive photoreceptor degeneration resulting from genetic and other factors is a leading
and largely untreatable cause of blindness worldwide. The object of this study was to find a …

Purpose Our objective was to comprehensively assess the nature and chronology of neural
remodeling in retinal degenerations triggered by light-induced retinal damage (LIRD) in …

cells (ESPEs) have the properties and functions of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in …

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) transplantation aims to restore the subretinal anatomy and
re-establish the critical interaction between the RPE and the photoreceptor, which is …
