Abstract
BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of irreversible visual impairment, with dry AMD being the most prevalent form. Programmed cell death of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells is a central mechanism in the pathogenesis of dry AMD. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of programmed cell death, is characterized by iron accumulation-induced lipid peroxidation. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of ferroptosis in the progression of AMD.
