Rationale of Basic and Cellular Mechanisms Considered in Updating the Staging System for Diabetic Retinal Disease

Ophthalmology Science (March 2024) published a Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative Working Group paper titled “Rationale of Basic and Cellular Mechanisms Considered in Updating the Staging System for Diabetic Retinal Disease.” An in-depth review that explores the preclinical and clinical evidence on basic and cellular mechanisms potentially pertinent to diabetic retinal disease (DRD) that might eventually be relevant to updating the DRD staging system. Authors included the cellular mechanisms working group of the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, including M. Elizabeth Hartnett, Ward Fickweiler, Anthony P. Adamis, Michael Brownlee, Arup Das, Elia J. Duh, Edward P. Feener, George King, Renu Kowluru, Ulrich F.O. Luhmann, Federica Storti, Charles C. Wykoff, and Lloyd Paul Aiello.
