VEGF Expression and Receptor Activation in the Choroid during Development and in the Adult
23 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Previous studies have demonstrated a role for the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the development and maintenance of the choroidal vasculature, suggesting that RPE serves a trophic role for the choroidal vessels. The goal of this study was to determine the expression pattern of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors and their activation status in embryonic and adult choroid, with...
