New Research Uncovers Link Between Cancer Pathway and Blood-Retina Barrier Function
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 10 – The tumor-suppressing protein p53 disrupts key signaling in brain and retina blood vessels, with NCAPH identified as a gene linked to inherited retinal and vascular diseases.
A University of Minnesota Medical School-led research team has discovered that a cancer signaling pathway has previously unrecognized roles in retina and brain blood vessels. The findings were recently published in Science Signaling.
