Abstract excerpt

Neovascularization (NV) of the retinal pigment epitheium (RPE) by retinal capillaries following degeneration and loss of photoreceptor cells is a widely recognized phenomenon in rodents. NV of the RPE usually occurs several weeks to months after the loss of photoreceptor cells. We have observed t...
