Synergies of VEGF inhibition and photodynamic therapy in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration.

abstract：PURPOSE:Lymphatic research has progressed rapidly in recent years. Lymphatic dysfunction has been found in myriad disorders from cancer metastasis to transplant rejection; however, effective treatment for lymphatic disorders is still limited. This study investigates the role of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in corneal inflamm...
