Leukocyte Integrin Antagonists as a Novel Option to Treat Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex multifactorial degenerative disease that leads to irreversible blindness. AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the main cellular type affected in dry AMD. R...
