Corneal endothelial autocrine VIP enhances its integrity in stored human donor corneoscleral explant.

abstract：PURPOSE:Oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation of the RPE have been implicated in AMD; however, the molecular regulation of RPE metabolism remains unclear. The transcriptional coactivator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) is a powerful mediator of mitochondrial function. Th...
