Synaptic Pathology, Altered Gene Expression, and Degeneration in Photoreceptors Impacted by Drusen
22 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Drusen are risk factors for age-related macular degeneration and have been shown to negatively impact cells of the RPE and retina. In this study, the effects of drusen on the synaptic machinery of retinal photoreceptors are investigated. METHODS: Human donor eye tissue containing retina, RPE, and choroid was processed for confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, laser capture microdissection, and light...
