Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous VEGF is required for visual function: evidence for a survival role on müller cells and photoreceptors.

TL;DR: Results indicate an important role for endogenous VEGF in the maintenance and function of adult retina neuronal cells and indicate that anti-VEGF therapies should be administered with caution.
Journal ArticleDOI

An essential role for RPE-derived soluble VEGF in the maintenance of the choriocapillaris

TL;DR: Increased photoreceptor apoptosis in aged VEGF188/188 mice led to a decline in visual acuity as detected by electroretinogram (ERG), and changes are reminiscent of geographic atrophy (GA) and point to a role for RPE-derived V EGF in the maintenance of the choriocapillaris.
Journal ArticleDOI

PGC-1α promotes recovery after acute kidney injury during systemic inflammation in mice

TL;DR: It is shown that endotoxemia reduces oxygen delivery to the kidney, without changing tissue oxygen levels, suggesting reduced oxygen consumption by the kidney cells, and that PGC-1α induction may be necessary for recovery from this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and pathology of the hyaloid, choroidal and retinal vasculature

TL;DR: The characterization of the molecules and cell-cell interactions involved in the formation, stabilization and regression of new vessels has led to the identification of potential control points for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pericyte production of cell-associated VEGF is differentiation-dependent and is associated with endothelial survival.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that differentiated pericytes produce VEGF that may act in a juxtacrine/paracrine manner as a survival and/or stabilizing factor for EC in microvessels.
