Research

There is a need to find an effective prevention and/or treatment for ARMD before it evolves to advanced disease. In the normal retina, the RPE performs multiple functions in the retina. During aging and in the presence of disease the robustness of each of these functions diminishes.
Studies of the the RPE indicate that the capacity of the RPE to replace itself in response to injury is compromised with aging.

Loss of telomeric DNA occurs during cell division because the end of the lagging strand of the chromosome cannot be fully replicated. In some cells, this loss is partly or completely restored by telomerase.
