Activation of Signaling Pathways and Stress-Response Genes in an Experimental Model of Retinal Detachment
24 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Despite the high metabolic demands of the neural retina, its detachment from the retinal pigment epithelium does not lead to immediate death for most of the cells. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that intrinsic protective mechanisms are activated in the neural retina during early stages of retinal detachment. METHODS: Retinal detachments were created in Brown Norway rats by injection of...
