| In RegenMed's animal model of proliferative retinopathy (growing vessels into the eye), SDF-1 is expressed in response to injury, and cells are called in to repair the damaged blood vessels. OXiGENE announced the findings of a new independent study identifying CA4P as a possible novel treatment for proliferative retinopathy, a form of blindness in patients with advanced diabetes.
