Abstract

The pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is divided into five stages: (1) destruction of the integrity of vitreoretinal structures; (2) cell migration; (3) cell proliferation; (4) cell contraction, and (5) stabilization by synthesis of the extracellular matrix. Current knowledge concerning the treatment of PVR with antiproliferative drugs (5-fluorouracil, Daunomycin) is described.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
