An integrated hypothesis that considers drusen as biomarkers of immune-mediated processes at the RPE-Bruch's membrane interface in aging and age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a blinding disease that afflicts millions of adults in the Western world. Although it has been proposed that a threshold event occurs during normal aging which leads to AMD, the sequelae of biochemical, cellular, and/or molecular events leading to the develo...
