A computational study of VEGF production by patterned retinal epithelial cell colonies as a model for neovascular macular degeneration
Abstract Background The configuration of necrotic areas within the retinal pigmented epithelium is an important element in the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In the exudative (wet) and non-exudative (dry) forms of the disease, retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells respond to...
