Humanized VEGFA Mouse Models for Preclinical Wet AMD Ophthalmology Research
Mar 30, 2023
Recently, researchers announced that they have found a new target for inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which can improve the symptoms of ophthalmic diseases. This is achieved by affecting the release of VEGF and choroidal neovascularization through fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) inhibition. Read More >
