Proteomics of vitreous humor of patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration.
<h4>Background</h4>There is absence of specific biomarkers and an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).<h4>Methods and findings</h4>Eighty-eight vitreous samples (73 from patients with treatment naïve AMD and 15 c...
