Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time temperature determination during retinal photocoagulation on patients

Ralf Brinkmann, +9 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The obtained data look very promising for the realization of a feedback-controlled treatment, which automatically generates preselected and reproducible coagulation strengths, unburdens the ophthalmologist from manual laser dosage, and minimizes adverse effects and pain for the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

VEGF antagonists decrease barrier function of retinal pigment epithelium in vitro: possible participation of intracellular glutathione.

Yoko Miura, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that bevacIZumab and ranibizumab may decrease RPE barrier function, with bev BacizumAB exhibiting a prolonged and more profound effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective effect of a laser-induced sub-lethal temperature rise on RPE cells from oxidative stress.

Hisashi Iwami, +4 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that the sub-lethal hyperthermia may modify RPE cell functionality to protect RPE cells from oxidative stress and associated functional decrease, which are considered to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration and other chorioretinal degenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vectorial release of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) from porcine RPE-choroid explants following selective retina therapy (SRT): Towards slowing the macular ageing process

Felix Treumer, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the release of active MMP 2 on the basal side of the RPE during wound healing following SRT may address age-related pathological changes of Bruch's membrane with a potential to slow degenerative macular ageing processes before irreversible functional loss has occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocyte growth factor stimulates proliferation and migration during wound healing of retinal pigment epithelial cells in vitro.

Yoko Miura, +6 more
- 01 May 2003 - 
TL;DR: HGF stimulated wound closure in cultured RPE cells, and rendered restituted cells epithelioid in shape, and may become a therapeutic candidate for RPE wound healing.
