(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Vascular eye disease is the leading cause of blindness in the United States, but a protein called Robo4 could reverse or even prevent it.
The two most common vascular eye diseases are age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy -- both caused primarily by abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage. When researchers activated the Robo4 protein in mice with simulated models of both diseases, they were able to prevent and even reverse the damage.
