Today "speaking" with JV I have agreed of a news that I had read about the complications of the most feared diabetes, I think, for all of us, so I have looked for her again and here I leave her.Of course, as it is always a matter of waiting ...
Two new diabetic retinopathy therapies will be experienced in humans:
- A group of researchers from the University of Nuevo Mexico has discovered that some substances (protease inhibitors) are able to slow down the proliferation of new blood vessels (when blood glucose levels are high, vessels that transport blood toThe eyes lose their efficiency and the organism produces new ones to guarantee the contribution of oxygen to the eye tissues but this new network can alter the proper functioning of the retina and therefore it is necessary to eliminate them by means of laser therapy currently not exempt from collateral effects).
- The second group of researchers (American biotechnological multinational) is studying, on the contrary, a substance that has the ability to inhibit the growth of new vessels (PEDF molecule).
The two substances have already been experienced in laboratory animals, now it is about evaluating their effectiveness and safety in humans.
