Quantifying Retinal Pigment Epithelium Dysmorphia and Loss of Histologic Autofluorescence in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
7 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Lipofuscin and melanolipofuscin organelles in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are signal sources for clinical fundus autofluorescence (AF). To elucidate the subcellular basis of AF imaging, we identified, characterized, and quantified the frequency of RPE morphology and AF phenotypes in donor eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: In 25 RPE-Bruch's membrane flat mounts from 25...
