Microscopic Observation of Proliferative Membranes in Fibrocontractive Retinal Disorders by Rino Frisina, Francesco Tessarolo, Ivan Marchesoni, Federico Piccoli, Emiliana Bonomi, Patrizio Caciagli, Edoardo Midena, Giandomenico Nollo

“…The cell components found in the ERM specimens, like myofibroblasts, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear cells, were recognized as the expression of cell migration and differentiation that induced an inflammatory process and a fibroproliferative repair process. The detection of pigments in specific types of ERM, like those associated with lamellar macular hole (LMH) or secondary to retinal detachment (RD), diabetes, and PVR, suggested that retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells may have a role in the development of these vitreoretinal disorders. …”
