To test the idea that Abeta42 and tau contribute to the development of retinal diseases, we measured Abeta42 and tau concentrations in the vitreous fluid from patients with macular hole (n = 13), diabetic retinopathy (n = 15), or glaucoma concurrent with other ocular diseases (n = 8). | lld:pubmed |
