Abstract excerpt
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, retinal glia, and fibroblasts undergo marked phenotypical change when outside their usual microenvironment, as occurs in epiretinal membrane formation. To explore their phenotypic potential without the influence of other cell types, each was cultured on Gel...
