Autophagy resolves early retinal inflammation in Igf1-deficient mice by Ana I. Arroba, Lourdes Rodríguez-de la Rosa, Silvia Murillo-Cuesta, Laura Vaquero-Villanueva, Juan M. Hurlé, Isabel Varela-Nieto, Ángela M. Valverde

“…Microglia localization and status of activation in the retinas of 12-month-old Igf1+/+ and Igf1−/− mice, analyzed by immunostaining of Cd11b and Iba-1, showed a specific distribution pattern in the outer plexiform layer (OPL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) and inner nuclear layer (INL), and revealed an increased number of activated microglia cells in the retina of 12-month-old blind Igf1−/− mice. …”

Association between individual retinal layer thickness and visual acuity in patients with epiretinal membrane: a pilot study by Jing Zou, Wei Tan, Wenlong Huang, Kangcheng Liu, Fangling Li, Huizhuo Xu

“…Thirty-one surgical patients 6 months post-surgery showed significantly decreased thicknesses (P ≤ 0.012) of the foveal INL, inner plexiform layer (IPL), and outer nuclear layer (ONL); the parafoveal retina nerve fiber layer (RNFL), IPL, INL, and ONL; and the perifoveal RNFL, IPL, INL, ganglion cell layer (GCL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), and photoreceptor layer (PRL). We found a weak correlation between postoperative VA and preoperative foveal and perifoveal RNFL thickness (r = 0.404 and r = 0.359, respectively), and a moderate correlation between postoperative VA and preoperative foveal and parafoveal INL thickness (r = 0.529 and r = 0.583, respectively) in the 31 surgical patients (P ≤ 0.047). …”
