The present study investigated the effects of ginseng on glucose-induced ECM gene expressions in human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs). It was concluded that Collagen4\u03b11 and Fibronectin mRNA up-regulation in HRECs were prevented by ginseng, which will help to develop future adjuvant therapies for DR.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n<table class=\"award_table\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Award<\/th>\r\n<th>Value<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"alt\">\r\n<td>Excellence Award - Junior\r\nBronze Medal\r\nSponsor: Youth Science Canada<\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Western University Scholarship\r\nBronze Medallist - $1000 Entrance Scholarship\r\nSponsor: Western University<\/td>\r\n<td>$1000<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h3>Biography<\/h3>\r\nTori Chen is a grade 8 student studying at Orchard Park Public School in London, Ontario.
