Early Retinal Neurodegeneration as Risk Factor, Biomarker and Pharmacological Target of Diabetic Retinopathy

Chiarire quali sono i primi meccanismi che portano allo sviluppo della retinopatia diabetica e cercare un efficace trattamento preventivo per questa complicanza cronica

The aim of this project is to verify the hypothesis that, in case of diabetic retinopathy, early retinal neurodegeneration could represent a risk factor for the subsequent development of microaneurisms as well as a potential biomarker and pharmacologic target.
