Repository of proposed pathways and protein–protein interaction networks in age-related macular degeneration

Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the commonest causes of sight loss in the elderly population and to date there is no intervention that slows or prevents early AMD disease progressing to blinding neovascularization or geographic atrophy. AMD is a complex disease and factors...
