Arginase 2 deficiency prevents oxidative stress and limits hyperoxia-induced retinal vascular degeneration.

Arginase 2 deficiency prevents oxidative stress and limits hyperoxia-induced retinal vascular degeneration.

Hyperoxia exposure of premature infants causes obliteration of the immature retinal microvessels, leading to a condition of proliferative vitreoretinal neovascularization termed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Previous work has demonstrated that the hyperoxia-induced vascular injury is mediated by...
