The team of scientists at the American University of Minnesota was able to detect a preventive method that can slow down the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the main cause of vision loss among individuals over 65 years of age, according to linta.ro.

A study published in the journal Cell Death & Disease showed that the key to prevention lies in removing the main links in the chain of inflammation in the body, this early intervention succeeds in preventing the appearance of the initial indicators of the disease, such as the accumulation of debris under the retina and the transfer of immune cells to that sensitive area.
Most of the treatment currently available focuses on the advanced stages of macular degeneration, at which stage a large part of the cells may be exposed to non-repairable damage. On the contrary, this new approach is aimed at intervention and prevention in the early stages, which provides a better opportunity to protect the eyesight and prevent the disease from turning into chronic and incurable forms.

The researchers confirmed that these results look very encouraging. By controlling the inflammatory mechanisms, it becomes possible to protect the retina from gradual damage that naturally accumulates with age.
And since the primary forms of macular degeneration are often asymptomatic, the development of preventive strategies such as these is extremely important for millions of people who are at risk of contracting the disease without knowledge.
Future research plans
The research team intends to continue their research to test whether this anti-inflammatory method is not only effective in preventing damage, but it can also help partially restore visual function after the disease has already started.
