Advanced glycation endproducts link inflammatory cues to upregulation of galectin-1 in diabetic retinopathy
Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an inflammatory and progressive vaso-occlusive disease resulting in angiogenesis. Galectin-1 is a hypoxia-induced angiogenic factor associated with cancer and proliferative DR. Here we reveal a significant upregulation of galectin-1 in eyes of DR patients along...
