• hyaloid vasculature in the retina at P10 shows delayed regression in tamoxifen-treated mice
• mice injected intraperitoneally with tamoxifen at P1 to P3 exhibit reduced radial vascular growth, vessel density, and vascular branching in the retina
• the number of retinal vascular tip cells is decreased and sparsely distributed in retina of tamoxifen-treated mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice show delayed development of deep retinal vessels at P10 and P14 retina shows incomplete architecture of the deep vascular layer
• however, by P21, endothelial cell growth resembles control retinas when angiogenesis is almost complete

• however, by P21, endothelial cell growth resembles control retinas when angiogenesis is almost complete
• retinal angiogenesis is impaired in tamoxifen-treated mice, with reduced vascular progression, vessel density, vascular branching, number of tip cells, and number of filopodia
• however, no notable leakage in the retina, indicating an intact retinal vascular barrier
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit an increase in vascular regression in the retina, evidenced by an increase in collagen IV basal membrane sleeves lacking IB4 both in the capillary plexus and angiogenic front
• the nuclei of tip endothelial cells in the retina of tamoxifen-treated cells appear more spherical and do not orient toward the avascular area, indicating impaired polarity and migration of tip cells in the direction of vascular development
