vision loss

Model of PEDF protein alongside the 17-mer and H105A peptides. Amino acid 105, which is changed from histidine in PEDF and the 17-mer peptide to alanine in the H105A peptide, is shown in green.

NIH researchers develop eye drops that slow vision loss in animals

A cross-section of the retinal pigment epithelium in an ACE2-expressing mouse infected with SARS-CoV-2. Top image: Bright-field view with immunofluorescence showing SARS-CoV-2 N-protein (green) and complement component C3b (magenta). Bottom image: Immunofluorescence of C3b alone. Widespread C3b accumulation is visible, even though N-protein expression is limited to two small regions. Scale bars: 50 µm.
