Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A wide variety of pathological pathways may result in age-related macular degeneration. Because of its complexity, there is no comprehensive model of the disease yet. One key feature is the accumulation of the autofluorescent pigment lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Thus, we developed an organotypic perfusion culture model of the porcine ocular fundus, generating lipofuscin under exposure to blue light and hydrogen peroxide. METHODS: Porcine fundi (choroid, Bruch's...     »
