Linoleic acid cytotoxicity to bovine lens epithelial cells: influence of albumin on linoleic acid uptake and cytotoxicity.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In this study, we used a rat model of retinal detachment (RD) to investigate the effects of transient receptor potential mucolipin 1 (TRPML1) on photoreceptor cells and the underlying mechanism. METHODS:An RD model was established by subretinal injection of sodium hyaluronate, and mucolipin synthetic agonist...
