Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Are Present in Epiretinal and Choroidal Neovascular Membranes

TL;DR: Colocalization of two growth factors in the same cells of ocular neovascular membranes suggests that more than one growth factor may contribute to pathologic angiogenesis and suggests that hypoxia may be an etiologic factor for choroidal as well as for retinal neov vascularization.
Journal Article

Vascular endothelial growth factor is present in glial cells of the retina and optic nerve of human subjects with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.

TL;DR: Vascular endothelial growth factor expression precedes retinal neovascularization in the retinas and the optic nerves of humans with diabetes and its localization to glial cells of the inner retina and the anterior optic nerve suggests a relationship to neov vascularization in these sites.
