Sigma-2 receptor modulator CT1812 alters key pathways and rescues retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) functional deficits associated with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

Abstract Trafficking defects in retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells contribute to RPE atrophy, a hallmark of geographic atrophy (GA) in dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Dry AMD pathogenesis is multifactorial, including amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation and oxidative stress—common features...
