Ursodeoxycholic Acid Attenuates the Retinal Vascular Abnormalities in Anti-PDGFR-β Antibody-Induced Pericyte Depletion Mouse Models
Abstract As a clinical manifestations of diabetic retinopathy (DR), pericytes (PCs) loss from the capillary walls is thought to be an initial pathological change responsible for the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). This study was performed to investigate the effects of ursodeoxycholic a...
