Ranibizumab versus verteporfin for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
BACKGROUND We compared ranibizumab--a recombinant, humanized, monoclonal antibody Fab that neutralizes all active forms of vascular endothelial growth factor A--with photodynamic therapy with verteporfin in the treatment of predominantly classic ...

Biological effects of cigarette smoke in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]
The goal of the present study was to determine whether treatment with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induces cell loss, cellular senescence, and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis in primary human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Primary cultured

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