Opa1 Deficiency Promotes Development of Retinal Vascular Lesions in Diabetic Retinopathy
This study investigates whether reduced optic atrophy 1 (<i>Opa1</i>) level promotes apoptosis and retinal vascular lesions associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Four groups of mice: wild type (WT) control mice, streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, <i>Opa1</i><...
