VEGF-Mediated STAT3 Activation Inhibits Retinal Vascularization by Down-Regulating Local Erythropoietin Expression
9 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Avascular, hypoxic retina has been postulated to be a source of angiogenic factors that cause aberrant angiogenesis and intravitreal neovascularization (IVNV) in retinopathy of prematurity. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important factor involved. However, VEGF is also required for normal retinal vascular development, which raises concerns about inhibiting its activity to treat IVNV in...
