... far not known how the RPE cells are able to survive in the vitreous body without contact to the blood vessels of the choroid supplying them with oxygen and nutritive substances. To answer this question, we studied growth characteristics and sensitivity to glucose and insulin of human RPE cells...

...Kiyoshi Akeo; Kenichi Nagasaki; Yasuhiko Tanaka; Susan A. Curran; C. Kathleen Dorey We assayed the proliferation of porcine retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, bovine melanotic and amelanotic RPE cells, and bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to 20, 10 and 5% oxygen and compared...

...Z. Zagórski; B. Gossler; G.O.H. Naumann The proliferation of bovine corneal endothelial cells cultured in low (6%) and normal (20%) oxygen concentration in the gas phase was compared. Low oxygen tension significantly stimulated cell multiplication and DNA synthesis of the cultured cells. 16 02...
