Epithelial phenotype and the RPE: is the answer blowing in the Wnt?

Progress in retinal and eye research - 1 Nov 2008

Burke Janice M

Abstract excerpt

Cells of the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) have a regular epithelial cell shape within the tissue in situ, but for reasons that remain elusive the RPE shows an incomplete and variable ability to re-develop an epithelial phenotype after propagation in vitro. In other epithelial cell cultures, formation of an adherens junction (AJ) composed of E-cadherin plays an important early inductive role in...
