Age-related increases in amyloid beta and membrane attack complex: evidence of inflammasome activation in the rodent eye

BACKGROUND: The membrane attack complex (MAC) is a key player in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and is a putative activator of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Amyloid beta (Aβ), a component of drusen deposits, has also been implicated in inflammasome activation by our work and th...
