VEGF Plays Key Role in Angiogenesis, Complicating Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy
Researchers at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley have highlighted the crucial role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). According to the study, VEGF promotes retinal neovascularization and intraretinal fluid accumulation in DR, leading to complications like
