The effect of an angiostatic steroid on neovascularization in a rat model of retinopathy of prematurity.

abstract：PURPOSE:FGF-2 stimulates cell proliferation of rabbit corneal endothelial cells (rCECs) by degrading the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) (p27) through its phosphorylation mechanism. The authors investigated whether the cell proliferation of human CECs (hCECs) is also induced by FGF-2 stimulation through the...
