{"doi":"10.33424/futurum395","title":"How can diabetes lead to vision loss, and how can this be prevented?","abstract":"iabetes is a chronic health condition in which the body cannot control its blood sugar levels properly.You have probably heard of diabetes, but you might not associate it with vision loss.However, diabetes can affect the retina -the thin layer of light-detecting cells at the back of the eye -which can lead to diabetic retinopathy. What is diabetic retinopathy?Diabetic retinopathy is characterised by changes in the retinal blood vessels, and symptoms include blurry, spotted or total loss of vision.A third of all people with diabetes have diabetic retinopathy, and severe forms of the disease are the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults.Dr David Antonetti, a molecular and cell biologist at the University of Michigan, hopes to improve our understanding of the mechanisms behind the condition and develop new therapies to treat the disease.The exact cause of diabetic retinopathy is still unknown, but it appears that factors associated with diabetes, such as increased Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults in the developed world.Dr David Antonetti, a molecular and cell biologist at the University of Michigan, USA, works in the field of ophthalmology to investigate how diabetes causes eye issues.He hopes his research will lead to the development of new treatments for diabetes-related vision loss.How can diabetes lead to vision loss, and how can this be prevented?","journal":null,"year":2023,"id":408421,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9613,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":323746,"name":"David A.
