ABSTRACT Subretinal fibrosis significantly contributes to vision loss in neovascular age‐related macular degeneration (nAMD). Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in RPE cells is a key early step in subretinal fibrosis. While mitochondrial dysfunction in RPE is involved, th…

Abstract Loss of photoreceptors and other retinal cells is a common endpoint in retinal degenerate (RD) diseases that cause blindness. Retinal transplantation is a potential therapy to replace damaged retinal cells and improve vision. In this study, we examined the development of…
Abstract Regeneration of the visual chromophore, 11- cis -retinal, is a critical step in restoring photoreceptors to their dark-adapted conditions. This regeneration process, called the retinoid cycle, takes place in the photoreceptor outer segments and the retinal pigment epithe…
Abstract The visual phototransduction cascade begins with a cis – trans photoisomerization of a retinylidene chromophore associated with the visual pigments of rod and cone photoreceptors. Visual opsins release their all- trans -retinal chromophore following photoactivation, whic…
# A # achromatopsia Achromatopsia is a type of cone dystrophy where there are normally problems only with vision from cone photoreceptors, the ones responsible for color and day vision and visual acuity. Therefore individuals mainly see by their rod cells, may be completely color…
Background: The development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is incompletely understood. Administered retinylamine is stored in the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) where it affects the ocular visual cycle. Results: Retinylamine inhibited vascular and neural lesions of early DR. Co…
Abstract Background: To compare four different optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices for visualization of retinal and subretinal layers in highly myopic eyes. Methods: In this prospective, observational, cross-sectional study, consecutive patients with high myopia and contro…

The Case for Collective Reparations before the ICC Many have predicted that collective reparations would significantly shape the ICC reparations regime (Ferstman 2002) and the for the ICC to award such reparations is intuitively strong. Yet the degree to which collective reparati…
