SLC7A11 Reduces Laser-Induced Choroidal Neovascularization by Inhibiting RPE Ferroptosis and VEGF Production

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), one of the principal sources of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells under hypoxia or oxidative stress. Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), a key component of cystine/glutamate transporter, regulates t...
