...Nan Xiang; Min-Jian Zhao; Xin-Yu Li; Hai-Hong Zheng; Gui-Gang Li; Bin Li Background: Current treatments for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) targeting single vascular growth factors are ineffective in preventing neoangiogenesis. Methods: We investigated the redundant/compensatory mechanisms between...

...Weiye Li; Luan Tao; Myron Yanoff We have examined the effects of a variety of vasoactive agents and growth factors on phosphatidylinositide turnover and DNA synthesis in cultured retinal capillary pericytes. A complex correlation between phosphatidylinositide turnover and DNA synthesis varied...

...G.-B. van Setten; Timothy D. Blalock; Gary Grotendorst; Gregory S. Schultz Purpose: Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has been shown to be substantially involved in various processes of fibrosis. We investigated if CTGF is present in aqueous humor (AH). Methods: Samples from AH were collected...

...Christoph W. Spraul; Corinna Kaven; Josef Amann; Gerhard K. Lang; Gabriele E. Lang Background: The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has been implicated in the development of diabetic retinopathy and it has been suggested that insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and glucose may be among those factors...

...Xipu Liu; Xiaodan Ye; Myron Yanoff; Weiye Li The effects of soluble growth factors on regulating the survival and growth of choriocapillaris endothelial (CCE) cells were investigated in vitro. CCE cells were cultured in a serum-free medium in the presence or absence of various soluble growth...
