Circular RNAs: Potential Star Molecules Involved in Diabetic Retinopathy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Recent advances in technology now provide tools capable of tracking genome-wide expression changes occurring in progressive pathological processes. The present experiments were carried out to determine if acetylcholine receptor α 6 subunit (Chrna6) is a reliable retinal ganglion cell (RGC) marker in adult mouse...
