Intraocular Concentration of Stem Cell Factor/c-KIT and Galectin-1 in Retinal Diseases
The intraocular levels of cytokines were significantly elevated in eyes with nAMD, DME, and RVO compared to the controls and they showed different response to anti-VEGF treatment. With this result and their known association with angiogenesis, these cytokines may be potential therapeutic targets for future research.
