Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is still a major cause of failure of retinal detachment
surgery. Despite a dramatic increase in our pathobiologic knowledge of PVR during the last …

The eye has an environment that is specific unto itself in terms of pharmacokinetics: the
inner and outer blood–retinal barriers separate the retina and the vitreous from the systemic …

Background Proliferative retinopathies are considered to represent maladapted retinal
wound repair processes driven by growth factor-and cytokine-induced overstimulation of …

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a blinding disorder that occurs in eyes with
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and in eyes that have recently undergone retinal …

Because proliferative vitreoretinopathy cannot be effectively treated, its prevention is
indispensable for the success of surgery for retinal detachment. The elaboration of …

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism of angiogenesis in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
(PDR) and Eales' disease (ED) on the basis of the levels of proinflammatory cytokines …

Aims To determine the intra‐vitreous levels of two pro‐inflammatory cytokines [interleukin‐8
(IL‐8), monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1)] and the anti‐inflammatory cytokine …

Müller glial cells ensheath all retinal neurons in vertebrate retinae. There are a multitude of
functional interactions between neurons and Müller cells, including delivery of the light …

Purpose: Photoreceptor apoptosis is associated with retinal detachment (RD) induced
photoreceptor degeneration. Previously, we demonstrated the importance of caspase …

Purpose To review the role of inflammatory mediators in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)
development and the current treatment for PVR prevention. Methods A PubMed search was …
