Background: Landmark studies reported on faricimab efficacy and safety predominantly in treatment naïve patients, but outcomes following switch from other anti-VEGF therapies are lacking. We evaluated patients switched to faricimab who had previously shown a partial response to other anti-VEGF injections for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO).
Methods: Retrospective study at the Oxford Eye Hospital.

Purpose: Choroideremia is an X-linked outer retinal degeneration. Early symptoms include nyctalopia and progressive visual field loss, but visual acuity is preserved until late disease stages. Dark-adapted two-color fundus-controlled perimetry (also known as scotopic microperimetry) has been developed to enable spatial assessment of rod and cone photoreceptor function.

Background: (Cilia and Flagella Associated Protein 410) encodes a protein that has an important role in the development and function of cilia. In ophthalmology, pathogenic variants in have been described in association with cone rod dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, with or without macular staphyloma, or with systemic abnormalities such as skeletal dysplasia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Herein, we report a consanguineous family with a novel homozygous c.

Uveitis is characterised by breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB), allowing infiltration of immune cells that mediate intraocular inflammation, which can lead to irreversible damage of the neuroretina and the loss of sight. Treatment of uveitis relies heavily on corticosteroids and systemic immunosuppression due to limited understanding of disease pathogenesis. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of retinas, as well as bulk RNA-sequencing of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from mice with experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) versus healthy control.

It is well established that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) exerts top-down control of many behaviors, but little is known regarding how cross-talk between distinct areas of the mPFC influences top-down signaling. We performed virus-mediated tracing and functional studies in male mice, homing in on GABAergic projections whose axons are located mainly in layer 1 and that connect two areas of the mPFC, namely the prelimbic area (PrL) with the cingulate area 1 and 2 (Cg1/2). We revealed the identity of the targeted neurons that comprise two distinct types of layer 1 GABAergic interneurons, namely single-bouquet cells (SBCs) and neurogliaform cells (NGFs), and propose that this connectivity links GABAergic projection neurons with cortical canonical circuits.
