Oxygen modulates cell death in the proliferating retina.

Abstract excerpt

Many factors probably regulate the process of natural cell death during development. It is present in both the early undifferentiated retina and later following differentiation. Melanin production plays a role in regulating retinal development and when it is absent, cell proliferation and death are enhanced. Here we examine the effects of hyperoxia on this process, as oxygen has been shown to reduce cell death...
