New research suggests that a gene known to be involved in constricting blood vessels also plays a key role in the aberrant blood vessel growth that can destroy the vision of premature babies. Endothelin gene expression is greatly increased in the retinal tissue of a mouse model of retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that significantly affects about 1,500 infants annually, resulting in blindness in about half those babies, according to researchers at the Medical ...Tuesday 11 November 2014
Vision Loss in Premature Babies Influenced by Major Blood Vessel Constrictor Gene
New research suggests that a gene known to be involved in constricting blood vessels also plays a key role in the aberrant blood vessel growth that can destroy the vision of premature babies. Endothelin gene expression is greatly increased in the retinal tissue of a mouse model of retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that significantly affects about 1,500 infants annually, resulting in blindness in about half those babies, according to researchers at the Medical ...
