An in silico model of retinal cholesterol dynamics (RCD model): insights into the pathophysiology of dry AMD

We developed an in silico mathematical model of retinal cholesterol (Ch) dynamics (RCD) to quantify the physiological rate of Ch turnover in the rod outer segment (ROS), the lipoprotein transport mechanisms by which Ch enters and leaves the outer retina, and the rates of drusen growth and macrophage...
