The Retinal Pigment Epithelium: Cells That Know the Beat!
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) ensures different functions crucial for photoreceptor survival, and thus for vision, such as photoreceptor outer... -
Serous maculopathy with absence of retinal pigment epithelium (SMARPE) associated with large drusen
PurposeTo describe the association of serous maculopathy with absence of retinal pigment epithelium (SMARPE) and large drusen in patients with...

Oxidative Stress-Involved Mitophagy of Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Retinal Degenerative Diseases
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a highly specialized and polarized epithelial cell layer that plays an important role in sustaining the...
-
The mouse retinal pigment epithelium mounts an innate immune defense response following retinal detachment
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains photoreceptor viability and function, completes the visual cycle, and forms the outer blood-retinal...

Management of Combined Hamartoma of the Retina and Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Children
Combined hamartoma of the retina and the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE) is a congenital benign proliferation of the retinal pigment epithelium,... -
Tumors of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Tumors of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), although relatively uncommon, can be mistaken for choroidal melanoma and are of importance to the... -
Conservatism and Variability of the Antioxidant Defense System in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium of Vertebrates
AbstractDuring evolution and adaptation to life conditions, organisms have developed the strategies allowing them to use reactive oxygen species...
