Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Drugs Restore Glial–Vascular Interaction in a Rat Model of Retinopathy of Prematurity
These findings suggest that pathological angiogenesis in ROP is mediated through VEGF- and mTORC1-dependent mechanisms. Anti-VEGF therapies may help restore glial-vascular interactions by reducing abnormal blood vessels in the ROP retina.
