Basement membrane and growth factor gene expression in normal and diabetic human retinas
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Recently, we found abnormal accumulation of several extracellular matrix components in retinal basement membranes in human diabetic retinopathy (DR). Others have described increased levels of various growth factors within the vitreous of DR patients. This study examined mRNA levels of these extracellular matrix components and growth factors within human retinal tissues. METHODS: Total retinal RNA was...
