Abstract excerpt
Human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells at different population doublings (PDs) were cultured for 28 days to examine their phenotypic heterogeneity in a confluent state. In an early population (PD = 2.8), cells showed a cobblestone-like appearance (type I), which gradually became small and tight, and eventually exhibited dark pigmentation. Some cells showed a dome-like structure (type II), which detached...
