A New Clue Linking Diabetic Eye and Kidney Complications: Promising Biology, Not Yet a Treatment
Diabetes can affect many parts of the body, but two complications often travel together: diabetic eye disease and diabetic kidney disease. Both are shaped by long-term metabolic stress and injury to small blood vessels. Researchers have long suspected that they may also share deeper biological pathways. A new PLOS Biology study offers a detailed clue […]
A One-Time Gene Therapy for Diabetic Retinopathy? What Is Known—and What Is Still Investigational
Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication that affects the blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It can progress without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, which is why regular eye screening matters even when vision seems normal. A recent company announcement described follow-up results from a study […]
