## Abstract The retinal pigment epithelium is uniquely suited to gene therapy that uses lipidβmediated DNA transfer due to its high phagocytic activity in situ. We compared the relative efficacy of phagocytosis on the uptake of labeled plasmid vectors by retinal pigment epithelial and ciliary epith

Visual deprivation of the chicken eye causes axial elongation with high myopia. The cartilaginous layer of the myopic sclera shows an increase of mitotic activity. Previous studies reported that the in vivo administration of apomorphine, a dopamine nonselective agonist, eectively prevents visual-dep
## Abstract The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential suitability of collagen Vitrigel (CV) membrane as a substrate for the separate reconstruction of the three main cellular layers of the cornea. Limbal explants, keratocytes, and endothelial cells were cultured on transparent membranes
Studies investigating mechanisms of mucociliary clearance have suggested that beta 2-adrenergic agents may significantly influence ciliary activity of epithelial cells and therefore play a vital role in the maintenance of functional integrity of the airways. We have cultured human bronchial epitheli
We examined the effects of 1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-DHCC) and the glucocorticoid, cortisol, on primary mouse mammary epithelial cells in collagen gel cell culture systems. Physiological low concentrations (10(-11)-10(-9) M) of 1,25-DHCC stimulated growth of the cells in a collagen ge
