Objective
In the ageing population, morbidity from blinding retinal neuro degenerations represents the most feared limitation of quality of life. The predominant causes of blindness, i.e. glaucoma, ischemic diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration, occur as a consequence of both specific and common pathways leading to retinal cell, mainly neuronal, loss. The global objective of PRO-AGE-RET is therefore the development of therapeutic strategies aiming at blocking the cell death process occurring in these retinal pathologies. The scientific and technical objectives of the PRO-AGE-RET project are to identify and characterise factors and mechanisms involved in retinal degeneration as a basis for the development of rational therapeutic approaches; to design methods for therapeutic intervention; and, as a perquisite, to further develop models for retinal degeneration.
