## Abstract Neuronal degeneration and aberrant neovascularization are common problems of ischemic retinopathies. Pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF), a neuroprotective protein and an inhibitor of angiogenesis, is produced by retinal glial (Müller) cells and can counterbalance elevated levels o

## Abstract Pigment epithelium‐derived factor (PEDF), a glycoprotein with pleiotropic functions, is naturally occuring in the eye and considered as crucial to prevent pathological angiogenesis. Since retinal glial (Müller) cells produce PEDF, the authors have studied its impact on glial–endothelial
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in culture display selective induction of certain early response transcription factors at the onset of photoreceptor rod outer segment (ROS)-specific phagocytosis (Ershov et al., 1996a). Moreover, this response is modulated by prostaglandins. The purpose of thi
Cultured normal rat retinal pigment epithelium (PE) ingested six times more rod outer segments in the presence of 20% fetal bovine serum than in serumfree medium. PE cultured from Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats with hereditary retinal dystrophy, known to have a defect in vivo in the phagocytos
The retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) is a monolayer of polarized cells located between retinal photoreceptors and blood vessels of the choroid. The basal surface of RPE cells rests on Bruch's membrane, a complex extracellular matrix structure which becomes abnormal in several disease processes, in
