Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes, and it is the main cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Angiopoietin (Ang), a superfamily of secreted proteins, is a vascular growth factor that regulates the stability of vascular environment, participates in angiogenesis and repair, and lipid metabolism. It plays an important role in the development of DR and has become a new target for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. With the in-depth study of Ang and the research and development of various drugs for Ang, it is expected to bring new ideas and strategies for the treatment of DR in the future.
