Summary

This research develops a targeted anti-VEGF therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration that can be injected under the skin rather than directly into the eye. In animal studies, the drug successfully reached the eye and reduced abnormal blood vessel growth, offering a safer, cheaper, and more convenient treatment for preventing blindness.
