Pigmentation varies widely across humans and is shaped by melanin quantity, type, and spatial distribution. Retinal pigmentation protects against light-induced damage, yet its genetic and evolutionary bases remain unclear. We developed a deep learnin...
To develop our proposed technology method to improve retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detection in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and compare its efficacy with Topcon's automated segmentation algorithm across multiple retinal diseases and ...
Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of untreatable vision loss. In advanced cases, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell loss occurs alongside photoreceptor and choriocapillaris degeneration. We hypothesized that an RPE-patc...
PURPOSE: Growing interest in microperimetry (MP) or fundus-controlled perimetry as a targeted psychometric testing method in geographic atrophy (GA) is warranted because of the disease subclinical/extrafoveal appearance or preexisting foveal loss wit...
PURPOSE: To quantify morphological changes of the photoreceptors (PRs) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layers under pegcetacoplan therapy in geographic atrophy (GA) using deep learning-based analysis of OCT images.
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that alter their morphological characteristics in response to functional needs. Therefore, mitochondrial morphology is an important indicator of mitochondrial function and cellular health. Reliable segmentation of ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of automated optical coherence tomography (OCT) segmentation, using a validated deep-learning model, for assessing the effect of C3 inhibition on the area of geographic atrophy (GA); the constituent features of GA on O...
AIM/BACKGROUND: To aim of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) that aids in the thought process by providing retinal clinicians with clinically meaningful or abnormal findings rather than just a final diagnosis, i.e., a "wayfindin...
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into mesenchymal stem cells (iPSC-MSCs), retinal ganglion cells (iPSC-RGCs), and retinal pigmental epithelium cells (iPSC-RPEs) to meet the demand of regeneration medicine. Since the produc...

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retina are functionally and structurally connected tissues that work together to regulate light perception and vision. Proteins on the RPE apical surface are tightly associated with proteins on the photorecept...
