Popis: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common leading causes of irreversible blindness, and there is no effective treatment for it. It has been reported that aging is the greatest risk factor for AMD, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AMD. To clarify the relationship between senescence and EMT in RPE cells, we used the replicative senescence model, H
