Intra-vitreal αB crystallin fused to elastin-like polypeptide provides neuroprotection in a mouse model of age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe and irreversible central vision loss, and the primary site of AMD pathology is the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of AMD characterized by extensive RPE cell loss, subsequent degeneration of photoreceptors, and thinning of retina. This report describes the protective potential of a peptide derived from the αB crystallin protein using a sodium iodate (NaIO Topics: alpha-Crystallin B Chain; Animals; Disease Models, Animal; Elastin; Eye; Intravitreal Injections; Iodates; Macular Degeneration; Mice; Neuroprotection; Neuroprotective Agents; Peptides | 2018 |
