Characterization of the effects of complement- and inflammasome-mediated inflammation on choroidal neovascularization in a mouse model of neovascular age-related macular degeneration suggests synergistic benefits from targeting both forms of inflammation.
The important role of serine biosynthesis in Müller cells may explain why the macula is so much more prone to developing disease than the rest of the retina.

Pigmentation that confers protective function of RPE is not underlaid by a specific gene expression profile, reviled by microscopic imaging together with single-cell RNA sequencing.
Variation in type XI collagen alters estrogen-dependent signaling in the extracellular matrix and is identified as a genetic risk factor for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a common childhood deformity.
Alterations of DNA methylation were associated with articular cartilage degeneration in hemophilic arthropathy, and aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote blood-induced chondrocyte apoptosis by regulating AKT activation.

The retinoid-binding protein RLBP1 in the retinal pigment epithelium is crucially involved in cone photoreceptor visual pigment recycling and mimics the human eye disease with retinal lipid deposits when mutated.
