Age-related Macular Degeneration (A.M.D.)

Duration: 52:07
Updated: 06 Feb 2014

Professor Bird's research focuses on understanding the causes of inherited retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AM.D.) and developing potential new treatments for them. Areas of research include gene therapy where genes are introduced to correct the function of the gene causing the condition, in this case used for the treatment of early onset retinitis pigmentosa. The use of cell transplantation (transplantation of cells at the back of the eye) is also being developed to treat retinal diseases.

Treating age-related macular degeneration - Ghezal Beliakoff

Duration: 19:29
Updated: 29 Jan 2014

Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual loss among people 65 years and older. This disease manifests into two distinct forms, wet and dry. The pathogenesis for both forms is poorly understood and numerous hypothetical models have been studied to better understand their mechanism. The dry form of AMD involves atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) by the accumulation of bisretinoid lipofuscin within lysosomes as the cells phagocytose the outer membranes of the photoreceptors. A major fluorescent component of RPE lipofuscin is a compound known as pyridinum bisretinoid (A2E). We have been able to degrade A2E by exogenous enzyme delivery to cultured human RPE cells and cell free systems. We have discovered an enzyme (SENS20) that, in the presence of its co-substrate, has the ability to degrade A2E in a dose-dependent manner without damaging RPE cells. This dose-dependency is evident in vitro and in cell culture assays. Our studies show evidence for SENS20's positive enzymatic activity towards synthetic A2E cultured with human RPE cells and its ability for potential treatment of dry AMD. Visit www.sens.org/videos to view the rest of our SENS6 videos.

Michael Cooney, MD, is a retinal specialist and expert in the study of retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. In the first seven video chapters, Dr. Cooney responds to questions commonly asked by his AMD patients. Here, Dr. Cooney describes AMD, its dry and wet forms, and how the condition can affect vision. Following the video series with Dr. Cooney, there are three additional video chapters featuring stories told by people living with AMD.

Dietary Prevention of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Duration: 4:52
Updated: 30 Dec 2013

Subscribe for free to Dr. Greger's videos at: http://bit.ly/nutritionfactsupdates DESCRIPTION: Yellow plant pigments such as lutein and zeaxanthin build up in the back of our eyes to protect our retinas against age-related macular degeneration. Levels of these eyesight--saving nutrients in organic free-range eggs, vegetables, and goji berries are compared. I've previously touched on this important topic in Preventing Macular Degeneration with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-macular-degeneration-with-diet/). I've also covered other leading causes of blindness such as cataracts (Preventing Cataracts with Diet, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-cataracts-with-diet/) and glaucoma (see my last video, Greens vs. Glaucoma, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/greens-vs-glaucoma, and my next video, Dietary Treatment of Glaucoma, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-treatment-of-glaucoma). In Egg Industry Blind Spot (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/egg-industry-blind-spot/) I compare the levels in eggs to greens. Though they didn't appear to boost a measure of immune function (Boosting Natural Killer Cell Activity, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-natural-killer-cell-activity), goji berries one of the most antioxidant-packed snacks out there. A tip on getting them inexpensively can be found in my video Are Goji Berries Good for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-goji-berries-good-for-you/). Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-prevention-of-age-related-macular-degeneration/ and he'll try to answer it!
