Purpose: This minireview discusses desmosome and hemidesmosome disassembly and/or internalization and subsequent release exosomes in retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) under oxidative stress conditions, and whether it may be a precursor to epithelial-mesenchymal transition in early Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

Methods: Literature review and discussion of novel findings relevant to the focus of the review.

Results: The RPE forms the outer blood-retinal barrier, and like other epithelia it has several different types of cell-cell junctions, such as desmosomes.

Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections are a cornerstone treatment for various retinal conditions, including diabetic macular edema and age-related macular degeneration. While generally safe, these injections can introduce unintended substances, such as silicone oil droplets, into the vitreous cavity due to the silicone-based lubricant used in syringe manufacturing. Although frequently asymptomatic, silicone oil droplets can occasionally cause significant visual disturbances and discomfort.

Atrial Fibrillation as a Predictor of Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol

March 2025

Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute, Intermountain Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Background: Aging of the population has resulted in more patients living with atrial fibrillation (AF) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AF is associated with macro- and micro-thromboembolism, microvascular dysfunction, and system inflammation. Organ systems sensitive to the long-term systemic and vascular disease associations of AF will likely develop dysfunction over time.
