called proliferative diabetic retinopathy, occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow near the retina, the light - sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.
A striking aspect of organ regeneration is how injury transforms differentiated, functional tissue
into proliferative, regenerative cells that coordinate tissue replacement.
But if, as this study suggests, the way that cells
become proliferative again is similar across many different organs, we can imagine therapies that interfere with cancer initiation in a more global way, regardless of where that cancer may appear in the body,» he explains.
Earlier this month, a network of researchers supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI) found that the drug Lucentis (ranibizumab) can be highly effective for
treating proliferative diabetic retinopathy, an eye disease that can occur as a complication of diabetes.
