A novel quantification method for retinal pigment epithelium phagocytosis using a very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids-based strategy

INTRODUCTION: The vertebrate retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) lies adjacent to the photoreceptors and is responsible for the engulfment and degradation of shed photoreceptor outer segment fragments (POS) through receptor-mediated phagocytosis. Phagocytosis of POS is critical for maintaining photorec...
