Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM)

Target
ILM
Molecular classification
Extracellular Matrix, Basement Membrane
01

Overview

The internal limiting membrane (ILM) is the innermost boundary of the retina, forming a distinct interface between the retina and the vitreous body. It is a thin, transparent, acellular structure primarily composed of extracellular matrix proteins and serves as a true basement membrane. It plays roles in retinal development, acts as a barrier to substances moving from the vitreous into the retina, and is clinically relevant in the context of retinal diseases and surgical interventions.
