Journal ArticleDOI
Inherited retinal dystrophy in the RCS rat: prevention of photoreceptor degeneration by pigment epithelial cell transplantation.
Linxi Li,James E. Turner +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect Pathogenicity of Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in Polymicrobial Otitis Media Occurs via Interspecies Quorum Signaling
Chelsie E. Armbruster,Wenzhou Hong,Bing Pang,Kristin E. D. Weimer,Richard A. Juneau,James E. Turner,W. Edward Swords +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that H. influenzae promotes M. catarrhalis persistence within polymicrobial biofilms via interspecies quorum signaling and AI-2 may therefore represent an ideal target for disruption of chronic polymicro microbial infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal pigment epithelial cell transplantation in RCS rats: Normal metabolism in rescued photoreceptors
TL;DR: These findings, combined with the previous demonstration of opsin and Na+,K(+)-ATPase expression by the rescued photoreceptors, support the interpretation that the surviving, normal-appearing photoreceptorors may function normally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial cells to immature and adult rat hosts: short- and long-term survival characteristics.
Linxi Li,James E. Turner +1 more
TL;DR: Retinal pigment epithelial cells isolated from 6-8-day-old pigmented Long-Evans rat eyes were successfully grafted onto Bruch's membrane in albino Sprague-Dawley hosts and developed a normal relationship with photoreceptor cell outer segments as seen by electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal conditions for long-term photoreceptor cell rescue in RCS rats: the necessity for healthy RPE transplants.
Linxi Li,James E. Turner +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that in order to affect long-term, up to 1 yr, rescue of photoreceptor cells in the RCS rat, young, healthy RPE cells are required and transplantation needs to be performed at early stages of the disease process.
