The angiofibrotic switch in retinal and choroidal vascular diseases: mechanistic drivers of angiogenesis and endothelial-mesenchymal transition
The angiofibrotic switch refers to the pathological transition from active angiogenesis
to fibrosis, a process that contributes to disease progression in retinal and choroidal
neovascular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and proliferative
diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This switch marks the replacement of newly formed, fragile
blood vessels with fibrotic tissue, ultimately leading to scarring and permanent vision
loss. Understanding this process is crucial, as fibrosis res...
