Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism limits experimental choroidal neovascularization and structural changes associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Current treatments for age-related neovascular macular degeneration (nAMD) suffer from limited efficacy. Here, Zhao et al. show that pharmacological inhibition or genetic deletion of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) limits choroidal neovascularisation in rodents, and show in a pilot clinical stud...
