Silencing p75NTR prevents proNGF-induced endothelial cell death and development of acellular capillaries in rat retina

Accumulation of the nerve growth factor precursor (proNGF) and its receptor p75NTR have been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases in both brain and retina. However, whether proNGF contributes to microvascular degeneration remain unexplored. This study seeks to investigate the mechanism...
