Retinal pigment epithelium lipid metabolic demands and therapeutic restoration

Retinal pigment epithelium lipid metabolic demands and therapeutic restoration

One of the defining features of the retina is the tight metabolic coupling between cells such as photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This necessitates the compartmentalization and proper substrate availability required for specialized processes such as photo-transduction. Glucos...
