Abstract
Previous studies of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) morphology found cell-level and spatial patterning differences in many quantitative metrics in comparing normal and disease conditions. However, most of these studies examined eyes from deceased animals. Here we sought to compare noninvasively imaged RPE cells from live mice to histopathology. We describe changes to improve noninvasive imaging of RPE in the live mouse. In retinal diseases, there can be invasion by Iba1-positive cells, which can be detected by noninvasive imaging techniques. Here we can detect potential Iba1-positive cells at the level of the RPE noninvasively.Entities:
