Tiny lumps of calcium phosphate may be an important triggering factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UM SOM). AMD is a degenerative eye disease that can cause severe vision loss and blindness. Previous studies have shown that AMD develops slowly over decades, with the buildup of fatty protein deposits in the retina, which cause damage by blocking the flow of nutrients into the ...Tuesday 20 January 2015
Age-related Macular Degeneration Triggered by Tiny Lumps of Calcium Phosphate
