TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of age and microbiota transfer on the gut barrier, retina, and brain were assessed using protein assays, immunohistology, and behavioral testing, showing that the aging microbiota drives detrimental changes in the gut-brain and gut-retina axes suggesting that microbial modulation may be of therapeutic benefit in preventing inflammationrelated tissue decline in later life.
Fundamental differences in patterns of retinal ageing between primates and mice

TL;DR: Presence of limited aged inflammation and amyloid beta deposition question some of the therapeutic approaches taken to resolve problems of retinal ageing in humans and the possible lack of success in clinical trials in macular degeneration that have targeted inflammatory agents.
Retinal characterization in the eyes of two bats endemic in the Egyptian fauna, the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) and insectivorous bat (Pipistrellus kuhlii), using the light microscope and transmission electron microscope.
TL;DR: The retina of P. kuhlii was thicker than that of R. aegyptiacus, which had many projections extended from the choroid layer into retina forming papillae, and cone photoreceptors were encountered in both retinae.

Primate retinal cones express phosphorylated tau associated with neuronal degeneration yet survive in old age.
TL;DR: It is shown that total tau is widely distributed in the primate outer retina with little age-related change, being present in both rods and cones and their processes, however, all cones specifically accumulate phosphorylated tau, which was not seen in rods.

Watching synchronous mitochondrial respiration in the retina and its instability in a mouse model of macular degeneration.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors optically examine retinal mitochondrial function as well as choroidal oxygenation and hemodynamics in aging C57 and complement factor H (CFH−/−) mice.
