Oxidative stress differentially impacts apical and basolateral secretion of angiogenic factors from human iPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium cells

Abstract The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a polarized monolayer that secretes growth factors and cytokines towards the retina apically and the choroid basolaterally. Numerous RPE secreted proteins have been linked to the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The purpose of t...
