The role of Fas-FasL in the development and treatment of ischemic retinopathy.

abstract：PURPOSE:We reviewed and illustrated the most optimal retinal structural measurements to make in stem cell clinical trials. METHODS:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and autofluorescence (AF) imaging were used to evaluate patients with severe visual loss from nonsyndromic and syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (RP), ABCA4...

abstract：Purpose:A recent proposal for why glaucomatous perimetric sensitivities of approximately 15 to 19 dB or less are unreliable involves the idea that the neural response of normal retinal ganglion cells saturates for intense perimetric stimuli. A predicted consequence of this saturation is that the neural response for two...
