💨 Abstract

Researchers have developed eye drops containing a protein fragment called PEDF to slow the progression of vision loss in animal models of retinitis pigmentosa and dry age-related macular degeneration. The eye drops, which are safe and non-toxic, help preserve cells in the eye's retina, and trials in humans are planned. The study, published in Communications Medicine, could lead to a potential treatment for various degenerative retinal diseases.
