• 2016

Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is a sight-threatening condition that is encountered in various inflammatory settings including chemical injury. We recently confirmed that angiopoietin-like protein… (More)

Angiopoietin-like protein 2 is a potent hemangiogenic and lymphangiogenic factor in corneal inflammation.

• Tetsuya Toyono, Tomohiko Usui, +6 authors Shiro Amano
• Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
• 2013

PURPOSE We determined the plausible functional role of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) in inflammatory corneal hemangiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in vivo. METHODS Corneal hemangiogenesis… (More)
