Pericytes are specialized mural cells located at the abluminal surface of capillary blood
vessels, embedded within the basement membrane. In the vascular network these …

Vascular dysregulation refers to the regulation of blood flow that is not adapted to the needs
of the respective tissue. We distinguish primary vascular dysregulation (PVD, formerly called …

The detection of retinal vessel is of great importance in the diagnosis and treatment of many
ocular diseases. Many methods have been proposed for vessel detection. However, most of …

Glaucoma is a common optic neuropathy with a complex etiology often linked to sensitivity to
intraocular pressure. Though the precise mechanisms that mediate or transduce this …

Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss is a hallmark of glaucoma and the second leading cause of
