Research project funded by NIH to study the aging effects on Bruch’s membrane and its role in retinal degenerations, with an award amount of $615,928.
Description
The project focuses on the mechanobiology of Bruch’s membrane during aging and its implications for age-related retinal degenerations. The project aims to describe the spatial and temporal matrisome maps of RPE/Bruch’s membrane/choriocapillaris and correlate it with the underlying stiffness of Bruch’s membrane.
