Researchers have developed a new ophthalmological device that can detect degenerative visual problems such as age-related macular degeneration long before the onset of the first symptoms.
Determining the structure of vitronectin, a protein implicated in age-related macular degeneration and some neurodegenerative disorders, and using pressure to alter the protein shape may help in the development of new treatments for AMD.
More severe COVID-19 outcomes associated with age-related macular degeneration likely arise from a genetic predisposition in addition to higher levels of Pdgf in blood serum.
People with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), a form of age-related macular degeneration, are more likely to have underlying heart damage as a result of heart failure or heart attacks, or other forms of cardiovascular disease associated with increased stroke risk.
Age-related macular degeneration with subretinal drusenoid deposits was associated with high-risk vascular diseases, including increased stroke risk and cardiovascular disease.
Exposing retinal pigment epithelium cells in mouse models to amyloid-beta resulted in retinal pathologies similar to those seen in human age-related macular degeneration.
A new study reports amyloid beta proteins are able to accumulate in the retina and damage it, which may result in age related macular degeneration in older people.
Transcranial direct current stimulation can help improve reading for those with age-related macular degeneration.
A new study reports regular usage of medications to control type 2 diabetes and lower cholesterol may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.
Study uncovers new genetic risk factors for age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in adults.
Following a Mediterranean diet with greater adherence was linked to the lowest risk of cognitive impairment. High fish and vegetable consumption appeared to have the greatest protective effect against cognitive decline.
Eating a handful of dried goji berries five times a week may help delay or even prevent the onset of age-related macular degeneration. Over a 90 day period, those who ate goji berries had an increase in protective pigments in their eyes.
