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.
