Controlled surface morphology and hydrophilicity of polycaprolactone toward human retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Applying scaffolds as a bed to enhance cell proliferation and even differentiation is one of the treatment of retina diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which deteriorating photoreceptors and finally happening blindness. In this s...

Texture Descriptors Ensembles Enable Image-Based Classification of Maturation of Human Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Pigmented Epithelium.

PloS one
AIMS: A fast, non-invasive and observer-independent method to analyze the homogeneity and maturity of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is warranted to assess the suitability of hPSC-RPE cells for impla...

Structure-Function Correlation of Deep-Learning Quantified Ellipsoid Zone and Retinal Pigment Epithelium Loss and Microperimetry in Geographic Atrophy.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to define structure-function correlation of geographic atrophy (GA) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and functional testing on microperimetry (MP) based on deep-learning (DL)-quantified spectral-domain OCT ...

Classifying Mouse RPE Morphometric Heterogeneity Using REShAPE: An AI-Based Image Analysis Tool.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Retinal degenerative diseases caused by retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction affect specific areas of the retina. Regions of molecular and phenotypic RPE heterogeneity have been described in the human eye and are thought to underlie geographi...

Identification of Ferroptosis-Related Gene in Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using Machine Learning.

Immunity, inflammation and disease
BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of irreversible visual impairment, with dry AMD being the most prevalent form. Programmed cell death of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells is a central mechanism in the pathogene...

Generalizable Deep Learning for the Detection of Incomplete and Complete Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Outer Retinal Atrophy: A MACUSTAR Report.

Translational vision science & technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning algorithm for detecting and quantifying incomplete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA) and complete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA...

Sequence of Morphological Changes Preceding Atrophy in Intermediate AMD Using Deep Learning.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: Investigating the sequence of morphological changes preceding outer plexiform layer (OPL) subsidence, a marker preceding geographic atrophy, in intermediate AMD (iAMD) using high-precision artificial intelligence (AI) quantifications on opti...

Deep Learning-Facilitated Study of the Rate of Change in Photoreceptor Outer Segment Metrics in RPGR-Related X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to obtain three-dimensional (3D) photoreceptor outer segment (OS) metrics measurements with the assistance of a deep learning model (DLM) and to evaluate the longitudinal change in OS metrics an...

Network Biology and Medicine to Rescue: Applications for Retinal Disease Mechanisms and Therapy.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are clinically and genetically heterogenous blinding diseases that manifest through dysfunction of target cells, photoreceptors, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the retina. Despite knowledge of numerous ...
