Role of p38 MAP kinase in regulation of cell migration and proliferation in healing corneal epithelium.

abstract：PURPOSE:Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a major cause of serosanguinous maculopathy in Chinese patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Variants in the CFH and HTRA1/LOC387715 genes are strongly associated with AMD in Caucasians and Chinese. Variants in the C2 and BF genes have been found to con...
