TGF-beta 2 increases alpha-smooth muscle actin expression in bovine retinal pigment epithelial cells.

abstract：PURPOSE:It has been demonstrated that chick eye growth compensates for defocus imposed by spectacle lenses: the eye elongates in response to hyperopic defocus imposed by negative lenses and slows its elongation in response to myopic defocus imposed by positive lenses. We ask whether the synthesis of scleral extracellul...

abstract：PURPOSE:In the mature retina retinoic acid (RA) biosynthesis was reported to be regulated by light. RA is of vital importance for proper function of the retina. RA activity is mediated by interaction with nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs). The purpose of this study was to determine ...
