670-nm light treatment reduces complement propagation following retinal degeneration
, 2016 AIM Complement activation is associated with the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We aimed to investigate whether 670-nm light treatment reduces the propagation of complement in a light-induced model of atrophic AMD.
