Glia of the human retina
A Reichenbach, A Bringmann - Glia, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The human retina contains three types of glial cells: microglia and two types of macroglia,
astrocytes and Müller cells. Macroglia provide homeostatic and metabolic support to …

The primate fovea: structure, function and development
A Bringmann, S Syrbe, K Görner, J Kacza… - Progress in retinal and …, 2018 - Elsevier
A fovea is a pitted invagination in the inner retinal tissue (fovea interna) that overlies an area
of photoreceptors specialized for high acuity vision (fovea externa). Although the shape of …

Retina in a dish: Cell cultures, retinal explants and animal models for common diseases of the retina
For many retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma,
and diabetic retinopathy (DR), the exact pathogenesis is still unclear. Moreover, the currently …

Visual acuity is correlated with the area of the foveal avascular zone in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion
Purpose To determine if the area of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) is correlated with visual
acuity (VA) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Design Cross …

Adaptation of the central retina for high acuity vision: cones, the fovea and the avascular zone
Presence of a fovea centralis is directly linked to molecular specification of an avascular
area in central retina, before the fovea (or 'pit') begins to form. Modelling suggests that …

Development and pathology of the hyaloid, choroidal and retinal vasculature
During embryogenesis, the development and differentiation of the eye requires the
concomitant formation of the neural/glial elements along with a dense vascular network. The …
