Overexpression of Angiogenin in Pterygium Body Fibroblasts and Its Association With Proliferative Potency

Abstract

Overexpression of ANG in pterygium body fibroblasts might be involved in active pterygium growth with thick pterygium body formation and increased risk of recurrence. A possible mechanism for this finding includes ANG-related transition of pterygium fibroblasts to the proliferative state.
