Molecular mechanisms of TGFβ-mediated EMT of retinal pigment epithelium in subretinal fibrosis of age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly, affecting the macula of the retina and resulting in vision loss. There are two types of AMD, wet and dry, both of which cause visual impairment. Wet AMD is called neovascular AMD (nAMD) and is characteri...
