The retina is a complex tissue with multiple cell layers that are highly ordered. Its
sophisticated structure makes it especially sensitive to external or internal perturbations that …

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common cause of inherited blindness and is
characterised by the progressive loss of retinal photoreceptors. However, RP is a highly …

The mammalian retina provides an excellent opportunity to study glia–neuron interactions
and the interactions of glia with blood vessels. Three main types of glial cells are found in …

Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, which appears in one
third of all diabetic patients and is a prominent cause of vision loss. First discovered as a …

Microglia, the primary resident immune cell type, constitute a key population of glia in the
retina. Recent evidence indicates that microglia play significant functional roles in the retina …

Resident microglial cells can be regarded as the immunological watchdogs of the brain and
the retina. They are active sensors of their neuronal microenvironment and rapidly respond …

Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain and retina, are constantly engaged in the
surveillance of their surrounding neural tissue. During embryonic development they infiltrate …

INTRODUCTION Regenerative therapies based on cell replacement hold promise for the
treatment of a range of age-related degenerative diseases but are limited by unfavorable …

Although accumulated evidence supports the notion that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
act in a paracrine manner, the mechanisms are still not fully understood. Recently, MSC …

PURPOSE: To study the nature of inflammatory reaction in eyes of patients with retinitis
pigmentosa (RP) and its possible role in the pathogenesis of RP. DESIGN: Retrospective …
