reflects a complete loss of retinal pigment epithelium cells and an almost complete loss of retinal photoreceptors. Other abnormalities or changes in the parapapillary region include a hypertrophy of ...

Level of evidence: Level 3. Histopathological analysis of IT hypertrophy remains insufficient. Patients with IT hypertrophy had higher basement membrane thickness. The posterior end of IT had the ...

Inhibiting retinal NEP activity and increasing retinal natriuretic peptide levels can improve ... Residing on the cell surface of the corneal epithelium, where it remains undisturbed, NEP plays a ...

Microglia, for their part, may exhibit a reactive morphology and elevated response to inflammation in myopia. This review assesses current knowledge about how myopia may involve retinal glia, and it ...

Pigment changes—also called retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) disturbances—can lead to vision loss. The RPE is the pigmented layer of the cells which is located between the retina and the layer of ...

Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), reactive hyperplasia of the RPE, choroidal nevi, melanoma, choroidal hemangioma, peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy ...

The aberrations intrinsic to the mouse eye, however, prevent high-resolution investigation of retinal structure and function in vivo. Optimizing the design of a two-photon fluorescence microscope ...
