“… 19 Roles of lncRNAs in ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, glaucoma, ocular tumors, and ocular neovascularization, have also been identified. 11 , 14 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 However, the association between lncRNAs and RPE differentiation is poorly understood. In this study, we aim to reveal the roles of a lncRNA, ZNF503-AS1 , in RPE differentiation, and to seek for a lncRNA-based potential therapeutic target for dry AMD.…”
