Abstract:
Retinal explants from mice at postnatal days 2-15 were three-dimensionally cultured in collagen gel. The regeneration of neurites from the explants was investigated at each stage after birth. The explants from the central region in the retina could not regenerate neurites after postnatal day 9, but those from peripheral regions expressed such ability until postnatal day 12. This regional difference in the disappearance stages of retinal regenerative capability coincides with that of retinal maturation.
