Article Synopsis
- - Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and Stargardt Macular Dystrophy (STGD1) both lead to vision loss due to macula deterioration, with inflammation linked to the complement system being a key factor in these diseases.
- - Several treatments targeting this complement system have been tested, with mixed results; for example, lampalizumab and eculizumab did not prove effective in halting disease progression, while APL-2 showed promise in reducing growth.
