Thomas Jefferson University Researcher Advances Knowledge in Retinal Diseases and Conditions (Exploring the Associated Genetic Causes of Diabetic Retinopathy as a Model of Inflammation in Retinal Diseases).

A recent report from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia explores the genetic causes of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its association with inflammation in retinal diseases. The study used transcriptomic and proteomic data to identify potential biomarkers and biological processes related to DR. The analysis revealed 49 genes and 22 proteins associated with DR and/or diabetes mellitus (DM), highlighting the involvement of immune response, complement activation, and mitochondrial function in DR pathophysiology. These findings may contribute to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for DR. [Extracted from the article]
