Down-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate prevented retinal ganglion cell death after transection of optic nerve in rats.

abstract：PURPOSE:Most studies of cell growth of the RPE employ cultures which have been previously passaged, but here we investigated freshly-explanted RPE cells, which may have been growth-quiescent for years, within the eye to determine whether co-culture affects initial outgrowth in primary culture. METHODS:Bovine or human ...
