Deskripsi
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) plays an important role in diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression. Here, the authors show AKT1 and AKT2 are reciprocally regulated in the RPE of DR donor tissue and diabetic mice, reducing Akt2 in RPE causing a compensatory increase in Akt1 and attenuating DR.
