Protective role of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 in retinal pigment epithelium cells with CoCl₂-induced hypoxic injury: an in-vitro study
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are vulnerable to hypoxia-related and oxidative stress. Cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) is widely used as a chemical hypoxia mimetic; however, an appropriate concentration window for producing measurable RPE injury without the more extensive damage associated with higher concentrations re...
