Microarray Analysis of Gene Expression in Fibrovascular Membranes Excised From Patients With Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy [Retinal Cell Biology]

Conclusions.
Our data indicate that extracellular matrix-related molecules such as POSTN, TNC, TGFβ, and angiogenic factors have important roles in promoting the development of FVMs associated with PDR.
