Cyclic stretch induced-retinal pigment epithelial cell apoptosis and cytokine changes
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is complex. It has been shown that vitreomacular traction (VMT) plays a role in the pathogenesis of AMD. We speculate that the continuous stretch induced by VMT might impair the function of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells...
