Abstract excerpt
In retinal proliferative diseases, Müller glial cells (MGCs) acquire migratory abilities. However, the mechanisms that regulate this migration remain poorly understood. In addition, proliferative disorders associated with enhanced activities of matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 also present increased levels of the protease inhibitor α2-macroglobulin (α2M) and its receptor, the low-density lipoprotein...
