Protective effect of chitosan oligosaccharides on blue light light-emitting diode induced retinal pigment epithelial cell damage

Excessive blue light light-emitting diode (LED) exposure and consequent oxidative stress causes damage to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) are the hydrolyzed products of chitin, which is abundant in the exoskeleton of crustaceans and cell walls of fungi. We in...
