CCR3: Early detection and treatment of wet macular degeneration will be facilitated in the future
News CCR3 - New therapeutic approach in the early stages of wet macular degeneration
A New Target for Neovascular AMD
Since the middle of the last decade, pharmacotherapy has transformed the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Specifically, the ability to pharmacologically inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has changed the prognosis of neovascular AMD from one of laser photocoagulation and observation of progressively worsening vision to the current paradigm of stabilization or improvement of vision for most patients with repeated intravitreal injections of an anti-VEGF agent.
CCR3: Shedding New Light on a Dark Problem?
A recent work by Ambati et al. represents a bold step towards a more effective diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration, with the new evidence showing that CCR3, a chemokine receptor, is an early marker of and potential therapeutic target for choroidal neovascularization development.
