Study: Retinal cells have potential to protect from diabetic retinopathy
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is the major cause of blindness in people of working age. DR usually appears after many years of diabetes, and some people do not develop diabetic retinopathy for more than 50 years.
