Previous studies from this laboratory revealed that vitreous insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is a biologically active fragment of the intact protein. The goal of this study was to characterize its effects on Müller cell proliferation and tractional force generation, activities relevant to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
