iPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium (iPSC-RPE) grown on fibrin hydrogel, showing characteristic polygonal cell morphology with pigmentation. (E) Phase contrast image of RPE monolayer; (F) RPE cells showing cobblestone appearance with melanin granules consistent with native RPE morphology. (human (iPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium); Figure 2, E-F.)

Electron microscopy of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) at the lateral border between two adjacent RPE cells. Shows RPE ultrastructure including melanosomes, mitochondria at the basal surface, and tight junctions. Mouse RPE is shown in adjacent panel for comparison. (Homo sapiens; Figure 1.)

Group I (normal) human eye: representative retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) TEM micrograph from a 55-year-old male with normal bilateral fundus examination. Macular sections showing normal RPE ultrastructure with Bruch's membrane (BrM), RPE cell body, apical microvilli, and melanosomes. (Homo sapiens; Figure 1.)
