Popis: Loss of vision in AMD is mainly due to the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which is partly driven by macrophages and microglia that both carry VEGFR1 (flt-1) receptors specific for VEGF-A and PlGF. A switch from a pure anti- VEGF-A to an anti-PLGF+VEGF-A treatment is beneficial[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
