PDGF-A Strengthens the Neurovascular Unit and Inhibits Retinal Vascular Regression Under Hyperoxic Conditions
2024-11-11
Abstract excerpt
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is primarily caused by exposure of preterm infants with underdeveloped blood vessels to high oxygen concentrations. This damages the astrocytes that promote normal vascular development, leading to avascularity, pathological neovascularization, and retinal detachment, and even blindness as the disease progresses. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the characteristics...
