Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness. Microglia are deeply involved in the pathology of diabetic retinopathy. Although, much of the mechanism remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy targeting the role of Ninjurin1, an adhesion factor, in microglia that play an important role in retinal neovascularization. Our observations suggested that Ninjurin1 in microglia had a different role during physiological and pathological retinal neovascularization.
