Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Changes in gene expression were investigated after treatment of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells with vitreous. This may have implications for proliferative diseases such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy. METHODS: Cells were cultured in the presence or absence of h...
