Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial retinal disease that causes progressive vision loss, with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy representing a key initiating event. The RPE monolayer plays a crucial role in maintaining photoreceptor and choriocapillaris health and function. In advanced AMD...
