Involvement of autophagic pathway in the progression of retinal degeneration in a mouse model of diabetes

Involvement of autophagic pathway in the progression of retinal degeneration in a mouse model of diabetes

The notion that diabetic retinopathy (DR) is essentially a micro-vascular disease has been recently challenged by studies reporting that vascular changes are preceded by signs of damage and loss of retinal neurons. As to the mode by which neuronal death occurs, the evidence that apoptosis is the mai...
