Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Is Neither Necessary nor Sufficient for the Development of Retinal Neovascularization
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) is constitutively expressed in the retina and its expression is increased by a number of insults, but its role in the retina is still uncertain. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that altered expression of FGF2 in the retina affects the development of retinal neovascularization. Mice with targeted disruption of the Fgf2 gene had no detectable expression of FGF2...
