Lab model offers hope for macular degeneration patients

(University of Rochester) University of Rochester researchers have created a 3D lab model using patient-derived tissues that mimics the areas of the retina affected in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which affects an estimated 196 million people. They believe this could lead to finding specific drugs for individual patients to treat a disease that currently has no cure.
