Feasibility of microelectrode array (MEA) based on silicone-polyimide hybrid for retina prosthesis.

abstract：PURPOSE:Looping patterns rich in laminin are present in tissue samples of primary aggressive human uveal melanomas and their metastases. Because these extravascular patterns connect to blood vessels and transmit fluid in vitro and in vivo, the three-dimensional configuration of these patterns has been the subject of co...
