Table 1 Overview table of collected post-mortem human retina samples: the study contains four main sample groups (healthy control, diabetics without diagnosis of DR, NPDR, and PDR). In addition, donors are subdivided according to the occurrence of DME. Samples were taken from both retinal macula and retinal periphery. Throughout the manuscript NPDR/PDR + DME denotes the group of all donors with DME diagnosis.
