Quantifying retinal irradiance levels in light damage experiments.

abstract：PURPOSE:Increases in matrix proteins, such as type I collagen and fibronectin, are observed with aging in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) basement membrane. However, little is known about altered gene expression profiles of RPE associated with increases in matrix proteins. We investigated changes in gene expressio...
