Do endogenous fluorophores enable two-photon imaging of the primate eye?
These data show that human retina contains sufficient amounts of retinoids for two-photon excitation imaging. Greater amounts of 11-cis-retinyl esters relative to rodent retinas contribute to the fluorescence signal from both monkey and human eyes. These observations indicate that TPM imaging found effective in mice could detect early age- and disease-related changes in human retina.
These results strongly suggest that congenital absence of the uterus and vagina, if genetically transmitted, is not inherited commonly in a dominant fashion.
