Article Abstract

Purpose: Deep phenotyping of genetic retinal disease using multimodal adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy and protein structure variant analysis.

Observations: In a patient with extensive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and yellow deposits in the retina, genetic testing identified two variants: c.802-8_810delinsGC and c.1169G > A, p.Arg390His. AI-generated protein structures indicated loss of CYP4V2 function. Reflectance confocal and multiple-scattering Adaptive Optics Scanning Light Ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) captured crystalline deposits throughout the retina as well as previously unreported cyst-like structures that were mainly independent from the crystalline deposits. Sequential AOSLO imaging was conducted and revealed anatomical and morphological changes in the cysts and surrounding cellular structures.

Conclusions And Importance: Cyst-like changes may represent a new BCD degenerative feature. Characterizing retinal genetic disease variants with protein structural modeling and phenotyping with AOSLO represents an advanced approach for clinical diagnosis and may serve as a biomarker of disease progression.

As the demand for edge platforms in artificial intelligence increases, including mobile devices and security applications, the surge in data influx into edge devices often triggers interference and suboptimal decision-making. There is a pressing need for solutions emphasizing low power consumption and cost-effectiveness. In-sensor computing systems employing memristors face challenges in optimizing energy efficiency and streamlining manufacturing due to the necessity for multiple physical processing components.

Quantum imaging with spatially entangled photons offers advantages such as enhanced spatial resolution, robustness against noise, and counterintuitive phenomena, while a biphoton spatial aberration generally degrades its performance. Biphoton aberration correction has been achieved by using classical beams to detect the aberration source or scanning the correction phase on biphotons if the source is unreachable. Here, a new method named position-correlated biphoton Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing is introduced, where the phase pattern added on photon pairs with a strong position correlation is reconstructed from their position centroid distribution at the back focal plane of a microlens array.

Retinal surgery is one of the most delicate and complex operations, which is close to or even beyond the physiological limitation of the human hand. Robots have demonstrated the ability to filter hand tremors and motion scaling which has a promising output in microsurgery. Here, we present a novel soft micron accuracy robot (SMAR) for retinal surgery and achieve a more precise and safer operation.

Dynamic micro/nano-structured surfaces play pivotal roles in biological systems and engineering applications. Despite considerable progress has been made in fabricating precisely ordered architectures, achieving controlled motion in top-down fabricated structures remain a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce an advanced dynamic micron-nano optical platform featuring hierarchical microscale wrinkles integrated with ordered nanoscale arrays.
