mTORC1 and mTORC2 are differentially engaged in the development of laser-induced CNV

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is a potential target to inhibit pathologic processes in choroidal neovascularization. However, the exact role of mTOR signaling in the development of CNV remains obscure.

Dual Sensory Impairment: The Correlation between Age Related Macular Degeneration and Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Medicina, 2022
The pathogeneses of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and age-related hearing impairment are not yet fully understood. If AMD and age-related hearing impairment are correlated, the cause of both may be a result of a common vulnerability.
