New Age-Related Macular Degeneration Research from Medical University of Lublin Discussed (Oxidative Stress, Persistent Inflammation and Blood Coagulation Alterations in Serum Proteome of Patients with Neovascular Age-Related Macular...).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the Medical University of Lublin in Poland explored the molecular mechanisms underlying neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of irreversible blindness in elderly populations. The study analyzed blood serum samples from 74 AMD patients and 58 healthy controls to identify potential biomarkers and gain insight into the disease's etiopathogenesis. The researchers discovered 17 differentially expressed proteins, which are involved in processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, impaired cellular transport, lipid metabolism, and blood coagulation. These findings contribute to a better understanding of AMD and may have implications for future biomarker development. [Extracted from the article]
