Journal ArticleDOI

Pegaptanib for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Pegaptanib, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, was evaluated in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pegaptanib, a targeted anti-VEGF aptamer for ocular vascular disease

TL;DR: Pegaptanib was shown in clinical trials to be effective in treating choroidal neovascularization associated with age-related macular degeneration and has the notable distinction of being the first aptamer therapeutic approved for use in humans, paving the way for future aptamer applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Levels in the Vitreous of Eyes With Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

TL;DR: The vitreous levels of the angiogenic polypeptide vascular endothelial growth factor were measured and compared in eyes with and without proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and these data are consistent with vascular endothelium growth factor serving as a physiologically relevantAngiogenic factor in proliferative diabetes Retinopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A central role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

TL;DR: It is shown that chronic, low‐grade subclinical inflammation is responsible for many of the signature vascular lesions of diabetic retinopathy, highlighting the central and causal role of adherent leukocytes in the pathogenesis of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-related macular degeneration: etiology, pathogenesis, and therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: Transgenic and knockout studies have provided important mechanistic insights into the development of choroidal neovascularization, the principal cause of vision loss in age-related macular degeneration, and this in turn has culminated in preclinical and clinical trials of directed molecular interventions.
