Does rAGE regulate immune cell infiltration and angiogenesis in choroidal neovascularization?
RAGE-S100B interactions appear to play an important role in CNV lesion formation by regulating pro-inflammatory and angiogenic responses. This study highlights the role of RAGE in inflammation-mediated outer retinal pathology.
The birth and upbringing of a VLBWI is associated with more long-term stress, even for well-educated nuclear families whose health care is financed by government. Caregivers need increased awareness of the needs of these families so that their medical and social needs are met effectively. Support services should be targeted toward low income, poorly educated parents whose children have functional handicaps.
