Neural apoptosis in the retina during experimental and human diabetes. Early onset and effect of insulin.
Alistair J. Barber,Erich Lieth,Sonny Khin,David A. Antonetti,Adam G. Buchanan,Thomas W. Gardner +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first quantitative report of an increase in neural cell apoptosis in the retina during diabetes, and indicates that neurodegeneration is an important component of diabetic retinopathy.
Retinopathy in Diabetes
Donald S. Fong,Lloyd Paul Aiello,Thomas W. Gardner,George L. King,George W. Blankenship,Jerry D. Cavallerano,Fredrick L. Ferris,Ronald Klein +7 more
TL;DR: Up to 21% of patients with type 2 diabetes have retinopathy at the time of first diagnosis of diabetes, and most develop some degree ofretinopathy over time, and the further complication of preretinal or vitreous hemorrhage is added.

Diabetic Retinopathy: A Position Statement by the American Diabetes Association.
Sharon D. Solomon,Emily Y. Chew,Elia J. Duh,Lucia Sobrin,Jennifer K. Sun,Brian L VanderBeek,Charles C. Wykoff,Thomas W. Gardner +7 more
TL;DR: Improvements in medications and devices for the systemic therapy of diabetes have also improved the ability of patients to optimize their metabolic control, and this Position Statement incorporates these recent developments for the use of physicians and patients.
Diabetic retinopathy: seeing beyond glucose-induced microvascular disease.
David A. Antonetti,Alistair J. Barber,Sarah K. Bronson,Willard M. Freeman,Thomas W. Gardner,Leonard S. Jefferson,Mark Kester,Scot R. Kimball,J. Kyle Krady,Kathryn F. LaNoue,Christopher C. Norbury,Patrick G. Quinn,Lakshman Sandirasegarane,Ian A. Simpson +13 more
TL;DR: This perspective considers how the unique anatomy and physiology of the retina may predispose it to the metabolic stresses of diabetes and the roles of neural retinal alterations and impaired retinal insulin action in the pathogenesis of early retinopathy and the mechanisms of vision loss.

Retinal angiogenesis in development and disease
Ray F. Gariano,Thomas W. Gardner +1 more
TL;DR: The retina has long been regarded as ‘an approachable part of the brain’ for investigating neurosensory processes and cell biologists are now capitalizing on the accessibility to investigate important aspects of developmental angiogenesis, including how it relates to neuronal and glial development, morphogenesis, oxygen sensing and progenitor cells.
