Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied a part of the brain where signals are sent between nerve cells called the synapse, focusing on a nearby area called the periactive zone (PAZ).
- They found that different proteins that help recycle materials after signals are sent are organized in specific ways within the PAZ, suggesting these areas have special jobs.
- The research also showed that the way these recycling proteins are spread out is connected to how often signals are released in the synapse, helping us understand how nerve cells communicate better.
Objective: To correlate inflammatory cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in vitreous and plasma with vitreous retinol binding protein 3 (RBP3), diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity, and DR worsening in a population with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: RBP3, VEGF, and inflammatory cytokines were measured in plasma and vitreous samples (n = 205) from subjects of the Joslin Medalist Study and Beetham Eye Institute.
Results: Higher vitreous RBP3 concentrations were associated with less severe DR (P < 0.
