When the eye isn’t getting enough oxygen in the face of common conditions like premature birth or diabetes, it sets in motion a state of frenzied energy production that can ultimately result in blindness, and now scientists have identified new points where they may be able to calm the frenzy and instead enable recovery.
In this high-energy environ, both the endothelial cells that will form new blood vessels in the retina — which could improve oxygen levels — and nearby microglia — a type of …
