The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a partner of the neural retina and is indispensable
for vision. In humans, proliferation and transformation (cell-type switching) of RPE cells after …

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a blinding disease characterized by the formation of
epiretinal membranes through the wound repair process. Though the mechanisms of PVR …

Extravillous trophoblast invasion is a fundamental component of human placentation.
Invading trophoblast cells promote blood flow to the conceptus by actively remodeling the …

Background Mammalian peripheral retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells proliferate
throughout life, while central cells are senescent. It is thought that some peripheral cells …

This paper reports a clear elucidation of the pathway for the cellular delivery of layered
double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles intercalated with anti-restenotic low molecular weight …

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) forms the outer blood–retina barrier (BRB). Most
retinal diseases involve BRB breakdown, whereupon thrombin contained in serum directly …

Purpose.: De-differentiation of RPE cells into mesenchymal cells (epithelial-mesenchymal
transition; EMT) and associated collagen production contributes to development of …

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), proliferation and migration of RPE cells
characterize the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and other fibro …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays fundamental roles in testicular
development; however, its function on testicular regeneration remains unknown. The …

Lactoferrin (Lf), an iron-binding glycoprotein in human milk, plays an important role in
intestinal epithelial cell proliferation, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain …
