Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the leading cause of failure of retinal reattachment surgery. Since a key component of PVR is cell proliferation, we performed a study to examine whether the ribonucleotide-reductase-deficient herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) mutant hrR3 can be effective at destroying proliferating retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and thus prevent epiretinal membrane...
