Endogenous regeneration of damaged retinal pigment epithelium following low dose sodium iodate administration: An insight into the role of glial cells in retinal repair

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has been reported to demonstrate feasible self-regenerative potential under specific conditions. However, the precise underlying mechanisms involved in this process are still elusive. Here, we performed a sequential morphological, molecular, and functional analysis of retinal injury and subsequent tissue regeneration after intravenous administration of a low dose of sodium iodate (15 mg/kg) in mice over...
