On phagocytes and macular degeneration [PDF]
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2017 Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex multifactorial disease caused by the interplay of age and genetic and environmental risk factors. A common feature observed in early and both forms of late AMD is the breakdown of the physiologically immunosuppressive subretinal environment and the protracted accumulation of mononuclear phagocytes (MP)

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.

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.

Extracellular vesicles as a potential therapeutic for age-related macular degeneration
Neural Regeneration Research, 2023 Age-related macular degeneration is a major global cause of central visual impairment and severe vision loss. With an aging population, the already immense economic burden of costly anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment is likely to increase.

Medicinal plants and natural products as neuroprotective agents in age-related macular degeneration
Neural Regeneration Research, 2020 The retina may suffer neurodegenerative damages, as other tissues of the central nervous system do, and serious eye diseases may develop. One of them is age-related macular degeneration, which causes progressive loss of vision due to retina degeneration.
