Angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor α inhibition by faricimab reduces pericyte-to-myofibroblast transition and the myofibroblast phenotype in vitro.

Abstract excerpt

Pericytes (PCs) are essential components of the retinal microvasculature and exhibit fibrotic activity, which is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration. However, chronic fibrotic activity can lead to harmful fibrosis that impairs retinal function. Treatment with faricimab, which targets angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor α (VEGFα) to prevent neovascularization in diabetic macular edema...
