Interactions between vasoactive, epigenetic and immunogenic pathways in the development of diabetic retinopathy

在我们的社区，糖尿病视网膜病变是工作年龄人群视力丧失的主要原因。随着糖尿病视网膜病变患病率的增加，迫切需要了解导致其发展的因素，以便开发新的治疗方法。这项建议将探索激素、视网膜细胞对高糖和压力的记忆以及免疫系统在糖尿病视网膜病变中的作用。其目标是为澳大利亚人开发新的和改进的治疗方法。

In our community, diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in people of working age. As the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy increases, there is an urgent need to understand the factors that cause its development in order to develop new treatments. This proposal will explore the contribution of hormones, the memory of retinal cells to high glucose and stress, and the immune system to diabetic retinopathy. The goal is to develop new and improved treatments for Australians.
