Abstract:Pathological retinal angiogenesis is a major cause of vision impairment and blindness. The development of pathological angiogenesis in ischemic retinopathy is linked to oxidative stress and dysregulated inflammatory response, in which microglia play a vital role. Cryptotanshinone (CTS), a bioactive compound found in Salvia miltiorrhiza, demonstrates protective characteristics such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it might influence abnormal retinal angiogenesis, the pathophysiologica… Show more
