Scene perception in age-related macular degeneration.

abstract：PURPOSE:Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are known to play important roles in maintaining the homeostasis of the retina and in controlling choroidal neovascularization. The purpose of this study was to identify a factor or factors that would stimulate RPE cells to proliferate. METHODS:To isolate such a factor, 1...
