Mitochondrial Dysfunction During TGF-β1-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells

Purpose Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells contributes to the epiretinal membrane development in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). This study aimed at investigating changes in mitochondrial function during EMT in PVR.
