Unraveling the effects of FLASH and conventional irradiation on retinal pigment epithelial cells: in vitro and in vivo studies
1 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a fundamental monolayer of pigmented cells that supports visual function, situated between the neural retina and choroidal blood vessels. Radiotherapy is a common treatment for ocular tumors such as uveal melanoma; however, the RPE is inevitably exposed to radiation during treatment. FLASH radiotherapy, characterized by ultra-high dose-rates, has emerged as a promising...
