Macular degeneration: recent advances and therapeutic opportunities.

Nature reviews. Neuroscience - 1 Nov 2006

Rattner Amir, Nathans Jeremy

Abstract excerpt

The central retina mediates high acuity vision, and its progressive dysfunction due to macular degeneration is the leading cause of visual disability among adults in industrialized societies. Here, we summarize recent progress in understanding the pathophysiology of macular degeneration and the implications of this new knowledge for treatment and prevention. The past decade has witnessed remarkable advances in...
