Association between polymorphisms of complement pathway genes and age-related macular degeneration in a Chinese population.

abstract：:Wound healing in the eye may lead to undesirable sequelae such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy and scarring of glaucoma filtering fistulas. We therefore sought to manipulate in vitro two key wound healing processes--cell proliferation and contraction of extracellular matrices--using vitamin A (VA), retinoic acid (R...

abstract：PURPOSE:The incidence of blindness is increasing, in part, because of abnormal ocular neovascularization. Anti-VEGF therapies have yielded impressive results; however, they are not a cure for blindness. Recently, metallothioneins (MTs) 1 and 2 have been implicated in the process of angiogenesis. Therefore, we investiga...
