Third time’s overrated — fourth time’s where the magic happens! I just got awarded a BrightFocus Foundation National Glaucoma Research grant! Thank you @brightfocus.bsky.social for your support!!! #agingeye #glaucoma #epigeneticmemory

Features that distinguish age-related macular degeneration from aging Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex, multifactorial retinal degenerative disease that is influenced by both genetic and environmental …

Is age-related macular degeneration (AMD) a type of retinal aging or a disease? Is there a difference between aging and early AMD? You can read about what we think about it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0014483525000740 #AMD #aging #AgingEye

UC Irvine-co-led study finds DNA damage is key factor in age-related macular degeneration Targeting specific retinal cell types could lead to treatments that slow or stop progression

The Ercc1−/Δ mouse model of XFE progeroid syndrome undergoes accelerated retinal degeneration Spontaneous endogenous DNA damage drives key hallmarks of age-related retinal degeneration, including visual impairment, photoreceptor cell loss, dysmorphic RPE, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellul....

First announcement from DSK lab here: a new work just came out - we connected DNA damage to the loss of vision and aging. Amazing collab with Niedernhofer lab. And more to come!! doi.org/10.1111/acel... #agingeye #vision #aging #AMD
