Abstract excerpt
Infiltrating macrophages are critically involved in pathogenic angiogenesis such as neovascular agerelated macular degeneration (nAMD). Macrophages originate from circulating monocytes and three subtypes of monocyte exist in humans: classical (CD14(+)CD16(-)), non-classical (CD14(-)CD16(+)) and intermediate (CD14(+)CD16(+)) monocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of circulating monocyte in...
