Exploitation of enhanced prime editing for blocking aberrant angiogenesis by Xionggao Huang, Wenyi Wu, Hui Qi, Xiaohe Yan, Lijun Dong, Yanhui Yang, Qing Zhang, Gaoen Ma, Guoming Zhang, Hetian Lei

“…Results: NILVs targeting VEGFR2 delivered into cultured murine vascular endothelial cells led to 51.06 % VEGFR2 T17967A in the genome analyzed by next generation sequencing and the production of DN-VEGFR2, which was found to hamper VEGF-induced VEGFR2 phosphorylation, as demonstrated by Western blot analysis. Intravitreally injection of the dual NILVs into postnatal day 12 mice in a model of oxygen-induced retinopathy, led to production of retinal DN-VEGFR2 in postnatal day 17 mice which blocked retinal VEGFR2 expression and activation as well as abnormal retinal angiogenesis without interfering with retinal structure and function, as assessed by electroretinography, optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescein angiography and histology. …”

Temporal evolution and factors influencing visual function and RNFL thickness in ethambutol-associated optic neuropathy by Taimin Guo, Yue Fu, Xiaoyu Xu, Xiaoning Liu, Yurong Zhang, Hui Yang

“…Macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) thickness showed a decreasing trend (73.20 ± 4.76 μm to 55.33 ± 4.16 μm) from 1 month post-onset. Multivariate analysis revealed that disease course was the primary factor influencing VF recovery (β = − 0.31, p = 0.001), while peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thinning was associated with gender, ethambutol dosage, and disease duration. …”

Predictive model of small choroidal melanoma progression after eye-saving treatment based on clinical, morphometric and immunological parameters by E. B. Myakoshina, I. G. Kulikova, N. V. Balatskaya, L. A. Katargina, S. V. Saakyan

“…Selection of variables for this model was based on assessment of significant differences between the groups with chorio-retinal scar (n = 14) and residual tumor and/or continued tumor growth (n = 17).Multivariate analysis with conditional exclusion of variables revealed prognostic significance with four markers: morphometric, i.e., disorganization of the pigment in retinal pigment epithelium – Z1 (rs = 0.455); immunological, increased blood serum concentration of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) – Z2 (rs = 0.377); level of pro-inflammatory chemokine RANTES – Z3 (rs = 0.362), content of transforming growth factor (TGF-2â) – Z4 (rs = 0.431). …”

Adaptation optimizes sensory encoding for future stimuli. by Jiang Mao, Constantin A Rothkopf, Alan A Stocker

“…We then asked whether this characteristic change in encoding accuracy is predicted by the temporal statistics of natural visual input. Analyzing the retinal input of freely behaving human subjects showed that the distribution of local visual orientations in the retinal input stream indeed peaks at the mean orientation of the preceding input history (i.e., the adaptor). …”

Retina Modeling by Artificial Neural Networks by Amelia Stewart

“…This approach is motivated by the resemblance between the behavior of the model and that of retinal cells. The neural network receives as input the intensity of light that is incident onto the retina and produces as output the activity of the retinal ganglion cells. …”
