New technique to detect diabetic retinopathy
The ophthalmology team of the University Clinic of the University of Navarre has published a new technique to detect diabetic retinopathy. This research has been published in the magazine Investigative Ophthamology and Visual Science. The research is based on the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).... view more (2002-11-26)

Researchers making significant strides against diabetic retinopathy
Research increasingly shows promise to both slow and relieve the effects diabetic retinopathy, the most common complication of diabetes.   view more (2007-04-26)

Researchers create first model for retina receptors
A team of scientists at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center has created the first genetic research model for a microscopic part of the eye that when missing causes blindness. The research appears in a recent issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry.    view more (2008-10-01)

Should People With Diabetes Sleep With The Lights On?
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that night-time illumination could help prevent the onset of diabetic retinopathy, a condition which can result in severe visual impairment in people with diabetes. People with diabetes generally have impaired blood capillary function,... view more (2002-06-26)

Insulin therapy shown to treat early experimental diabetic retinopathy
Researchers will present study results that indicate that subconjunctivally delivered insulin ameliorates degenerative and inflammatory responses in diabetic rat retinas at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.   view more (2007-05-10)

Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed.   view more (2006-11-17)

Interferon-treated hepatitis C patients likely to experience retinopathy
Persons with chronic hepatitis C being treated with Interferon (IFN) are at risk of developing retinopathy as early as two weeks into treatment according to the results of a new study published in the January 2007 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS).   view more (2007-01-04)

Moran Eye Center researchers find gene linked to severe diabetic eye and kidney diseases
Researchers at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah and collaborative institutions have identified a gene called erythropoietin (EPO) that contributes to increased risk of severe diabetic eye and kidney diseases, called retinopathy and nephropathy.   view more (2008-05-06)

Oxford Biomedica and the Institute of Opthalmology present preclinical results from the RetinoStat programme for vision-loss
Oxford BioMedica and The Institute of Ophthalmology are describing two key features of the Company's vision-loss product RetinoStat(TM) at The Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, during May 4th-8th. This is the world's... view more (2003-05-06)

Blood vessel protein reverses macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy in mice
Two major eye diseases and leading causes of blindness-age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy-can be reversed or even prevented by drugs that activate a protein found in blood vessel cells, researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine and several other institutions... view more (2008-03-17)

Transporters may help delay diabetes-related retinal damage
Two transporters that deliver alternative energy sources to the eye may help delay retinal damage that can occur in diabetes, researchers say.   view more (2007-11-29)

Novel findings about neovessel formation
The main role in new findings about neovessel formation is played by a protein called tissue factor. This factor turns out to have both a stimulatory function and an inhibitory function in the generation of blood vessels. Normally these two functions neutralize each other, but in diseases like... view more (2004-05-10)

Joslin Researchers Discover Protein that Causes Blood Vessel Leakage in Eyes with Diabetic Retinopathy
Although health professionals have had success in treating diabetic retinopathy, two forms of the disease — proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema — still are the leading causes of vision loss and blindness among working age adults in the developed world.   view more (2007-01-30)

Drug treatment slows macular vision loss in diabetics
A drug commonly used to slow the loss of central vision has shown promise in stemming a common precursor of blindness in diabetics, which involves the same central light-sensitive area of retina, Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute scientists report.   view more (2006-12-18)

Statins may improve circulation in the retina
The cholesterol-lowering medications known as statins may improve circulation in the eye, potentially reducing the risk of certain eye diseases.   view more (2006-05-09)

History of migraines associated with increased risk of retinopathy
Middle-aged men and women with a history of migraine and other headaches are more likely to have retinopathy, damage to the retina of the eye which can lead to severe vision problems or blindness, than those without a history of headaches, according to a study from the University of North Carolina... view more (2007-05-15)

Marijuana compound may help stop diabetic retinopathy
A compound found in marijuana won't make you high but it may help keep your eyes healthy if you're a diabetic, researchers say.   view more (2006-02-28)

Schepens scientists are first to discover angiogenesis switch inside blood vessel cells
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, are the first to discover a switch inside blood vessel cells that controls angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth).   view more (2006-05-19)

Omega-3 fatty acids protect eyes against retinopathy, study finds
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids protect against the development and progression of retinopathy, a deterioration of the retina, in mice.   view more (2007-06-25)

Diabetic Neurological Disease Could Affect Central Nervous System
Damage to the nervous system associated with diabetes could influence the central nervous system in addition to the peripheral nervous system, suggest authors of a pilot study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The origins of the neurological disorder diabetic neuropathy (distal... view more (2001-07-05)

Grape skin compound fights the complications of diabetes
Research carried out by scientists at the Peninsula Medical School in the South West of England has found that resveratrol, a compound present naturally in grape skin, can protect against the cellular damage to blood vessels caused by high production of glucose in diabetes, according to a paper... view more (2008-03-19)

Periodontal diseases may aggravate pre-diabetic characteristics
Periodontal diseases may contribute to the progression to pre-diabetes, according to a new study that appears in the March issue of the Journal of Periodontology.   view more (2007-03-14)

Immune cells known as macrophages linked to growth of lymph vessels in eyes, scientists discover
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered that a particular immune cell contributes to the growth of new lymph vessels, which aid in healing. This cell, known as a macrophage, is called in by the body during the wound healing process.   view more (2005-09-02)

New technique appears to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
A manmade protein with a tail of amino acids delivered to target cells can dramatically reduce blood vessel growth that obstructs vision or feeds a tumor, researchers have found.   view more (2005-06-01)

Type 2 Diabetes Linked To Prenatal Diabetic Environment?
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that offspring of mothers with type 1 diabetes could be at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in adult life-even in the absence of inherited type 1 or type 2 diabetic disease. Type 2 diabetes generally occurs in adulthood and is... view more (2003-05-28)
