A team of researchershas discovered a biological marker for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in older adults. The marker, a receptor known as CCR3, shows strong potential as a means for both the early detection of the disease and for preventive treatment. Neovascular (or “wet-type”) macular degeneration is caused by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) – the invasive growth of new blood vessels in the thin vascular layer that provides nourishme
Investigations into presence of serum cystatin C (a marker for kidney disease) also have shown that chronic kidney disease and macular degeneration sometimes occur together. This entry was posted on Friday, April 10th, 2009 at 10:25 am …
