In vitro evaluation of simulated stereotactic radiotherapy for wet age-related macular degeneration on three different cell lines

Abstract Low energy stereotactic radiotherapy has been proposed for the treatment of neovascular age related macular degeneration. We investigated the in vitro effect of the radiotherapy on pericytes, retinal pigment epithelium and endothelial cells. Primary human retinal pigment epithelium cells, h...
