Recent research progress between the microvesicle and diabetic retinopathy / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Microvesicles (MVs) is small membrane vesicles released from different cell types under different conditions.Studies have shown that MVs may mediate vascular inflammation,angiogenesis,and other pathological processes.MVs may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by mediating endothelial cell injury,thrombosis and neovascularization.The plasma MV level may be an effective parameter to monitor the development of DR.This article will summarize the research progress of the relationship between MVs and DR in recent years.
