The role of the protein ABCC5 in diabetic macular oedema
The ABCC5 protein is involved in diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and plays a role in cell transport. Are these inter-linked?
The zebrafish’s high-acuity zone as a novel model for the human macula
Very few animals have a macula but the zebrafish has a macula-like organ. This research will look at whether gene manipulation of these zebrafish cells can create a viable option for future research.
