The effects of age and Cx3cr1 deficiency on retinal microglia in the Ins2(Akita) diabetic mouse.

abstract：PURPOSE:We investigated the therapeutic effect of liposomal doxorubicin (Lipo-dox) on experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). METHODS:The toxicity of Lipo-dox was determined in vitro in cultured rabbit retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells by tetrazolium-based (MTT) assay for cell viability performed 48 a...

abstract：PURPOSE:Oxidative stress plays an important role in health and aging. We have shown that oxidative stress impairs mitochondrial function and promotes RPE cell death in an age-dependent manner. This study investigates the role of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in limiting oxidative stress-induced damage to RPE...
