NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Aug. 16 (TNSjou) -- Vanderbilt University Medical Center issued the following news:
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in people over 65. Dysfunction of energy-producing mitochondria and damage to mitochondrial DNA in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of AMD, but current in vitro models have limitations.
To better model mitochondrial dysfunction in AMD . . .
