 New technique appears to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
This new approach to inhibiting blood vessel growth, or angiogenesis, delivers "intraceptors" that sequester VEGF, a "linchpin" protein needed to make blood vessels, says Dr. Balamurali K. Ambati, corneal specialist at the Medical College of Georgia and corresponding author on the study.
In a test tube as well as animal models for corneal injury and the deadly skin cancer, melanoma, MCG researchers have reduced destructive blood vessel proliferation by up to two-thirds.
The researchers get intraceptors inside cells by putting the manmade gene that makes them inside a carrier called a plasmid, an approach used in gene therapy and naturally by bacteria in the body to carry around extra genes.

After reviewing articles from 14 different journals dating back to the early 1990s, corneal specialist Balamurali Ambati, MD, and colleagues, found that 94 percent of patients participating in major clinical trials have at least 20/20 vision after surgery.
