Abstract:PurposeDuring the healing process of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs), the closure and recovery of the hole depend on the migration, proliferation, and activation of Müller cells to promote the closure of holes and restoration of the photosensitive layer. In this study, we investigated the ability of the epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor-basic (FGF-b), and nerve growth factor (NGF) to influence this process by regulating proliferation, migration, and reprogramming of primary rat Mülle… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
