Cellular Senescence Is Associated With Human Retinal Microaneurysm Formation During Aging
1 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Microaneurysms are present in healthy old-age human retinas. However, to date, no age-related pathogenic mechanism has been implicated in their formation. Here, cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging and several age-related diseases, has been analyzed in the old-age human retina and in the retina of a progeric mouse.
