Plain-language verified summary

Question

To investigate the expression of humanin (HN) in human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells and its effect on oxidative stress-induced cell death, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and senescence.

Methods

Humanin localization in RPE cells and polarized RPE monolayers was assessed by confocal microscopy.

Scale or participants

Humanin localization in RPE cells and polarized RPE monolayers was assessed by confocal microscopy.

Key findings

To investigate the expression of humanin (HN) in human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells and its effect on oxidative stress-induced cell death, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and senescence.

Limitations and uncertainty
