Accumulation of autophagosomes in aging human photoreceptor cell synapses.

Exp Eye Res

January 2025

Department of Anatomy, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. Electronic address:

Autophagy is common in the aging retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). A dysfunctional autophagy in aged RPE is implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration. Aging human retina accompanies degenerative changes in photoreceptor mitochondria.

Background: The accurate diagnosis of degenerative joint diseases (DJDs) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) presents a significant clinical challenge due to their progressive nature and the complexity of associated structural changes. These conditions, characterized by cartilage degradation, subchondral bone remodeling, and eventual joint dysfunction, necessitate reliable and efficient imaging techniques for early detection and effective management. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely regarded as the gold standard for evaluating osseous changes in the TMJ, offering detailed visualization of bony structures.

Objective: To study the biomechanical changes induced by differences in perioral force in patients with missing anterior maxillary teeth at rest via finite element analysis (FEA).

Methods: Using conical beam CT (CBCT) images of a healthy person, models of the complete maxillary anterior dental region (Model A) and maxillary anterior dental region with a missing left maxillary central incisor (Model B) were constructed. The labial and palatine alveolar bone and tooth surface of the bilateral incisor and cusp regions were selected as the application sites, the resting perioral force was applied perpendicular to the tissue surface, and the changes in maxillary stress and displacement after the perioral force was simulated were analyzed.

Mutations in the gene ABCA4 coding for photoreceptor-specific ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 4, are responsible for Stargardts Disease type 1 (STGD1), the most common form of inherited macular degeneration. STGD1 typically declares early in life and leads to severe visual handicap. Abca4 gene-deletion mouse models of STGD1 accumulate lipofuscin, a hallmark of the disease, but unlike the human disease show no or only moderate structural changes and no functional decline.

Mettl3-Mediated m6A Modification is Essential for Visual Function and Retinal Photoreceptor Survival.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

December 2024

The Sichuan Provincial Key Laboratory for Human Disease Gene Study and Center for Medical Genetics, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.

Purpose: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, one of the most common epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic mRNA, has been shown to play a role in the development and function of the mammalian nervous system by regulating the biological fate of mRNA. METTL3, the catalytically active component of the m6A methyltransferase complex, has been shown to be essential in development of in the retina. However, its role in the mature retina remains elusive.
