A recent survey shows that diabetes affect 92.4 million people in China's Mainland [1], among which 16.9 million have diabetic retinopathy （DR） [2]. DR is one of the major causes of blindness in the working age population in both developing and developed countries. Although the exact mechanism by which diabetes causes retinopathy remains elusive, several hypotheses have been postulated to explain pathogenies of the disease. Here we invited five groups of scientists and clinicians to share their recent discoveries and expert opinions in molecular biology, pathophysiology, genetics, and epigenetics of DR.
