The Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was used to examine the correlation between epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and angiogenesis gene sets.

Targeting fibronectin may provide a novel therapeutic strategy that could synergize with anti-VEGF treatments to more effectively treat pathological angiogenesis in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), particularly in cases of poor response to anti-VEGF therapy alone.</p>","PeriodicalId":14620,"journal":{"name":"Investigative ophthalmology & visual science","volume":"66 3","pages":"10"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11892531/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143556672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
