pigment epithelium

Sometimes applied to the whole layer of pigmented epithelium of the choroid.

The exception to this is the melanophores of the retinal pigmented epithelium of the eye.

These cytokines trigger the ability of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) to proliferate and migrate.

The ATP-binding cassette transporter is defective and leads to a build up of a toxic metabolite lipofuscin in the retinal pigmented epithelium.

Due to the lack of melanin production in both the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and iris, albinos typically have red eyes due to the underlying blood vessels showing through.

This group was studying human retinal cell development by identifying secreted factors produced by the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), a layer of cells that supports the retina.

The genes also play a role in the development and stability of the retina by influencing the structure and function of both the rod photoreceptor cells and supporting cells called the retinal pigmented epithelium.

The iris pigment epithelium prevents damaging light scattering within the eye.

Melanin in the pigment epithelium is critical for visual acuity and contrast.

Iris pigment epithelium is the scientific name for the color of an iris in the eye.

In: The retinal pigment epithelium: function and disease.

Reddish eyes are due to the lack of pigment in the iris pigment epithelium.

Rpe65 is the retinoid isomerase in bovine retinal pigment epithelium.

The EOG is used to assess the function of the pigment epithelium.

This enzyme from retinal pigment epithelium, catalyses the reduction of 11-cis-retinol to 11-cis-retinal.

In the mammalian retina, they are believed to be confined to the retinal pigment epithelium.

The retinal pigment epithelium maintains the outer blood-retinal barrier.

Gradually, the unwanted substance makes its way into the pigment epithelium, a layer of cells underlying the rods and cones.

The build-up of fluid seems to occur because of small breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium.

Pigment cells of the iris pigment epithelium have a separate embryological origin.

Also, vision can be impaired if the streaks progress to the fovea and damage the retinal pigment epithelium.

Expression was found in iris, ciliary body, and retinal pigment epithelium at E14.5 and became more intense after birth.

When the stroma is unpigmented but the iris pigment epithelium is not, mammalian eyes appear blue.

It is thought to transport retinoids between the retinal pigment epithelium and the photoreceptors, a critical role in the visual process.

In the early stages of Choroideremia, the choroid and the retinal pigment epithelium initially deteriorate.

Dissection reveals that the iris pigment epithelium is brownish black due to the presence of melanin.

There is diffuse depigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium with the greatest effect occurring at the macula.

Retinal pigment epithelium.

The optic cup then delaminates into two layers: The neural retina and the retinal pigment epithelium.

This mutation results in defective retinal pigment epithelium phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments.

These melanocytes are distinct from the retinal pigment epithelium cells underlying the retina that do not form melanomas.

This exhibits diffuse rather than focalized abnormality of the pigment epithelium, producing a persistent subretinal fluid.
