Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 60 years of age. Due to the aging of the global population in the coming decades, the number of patients with AMD is expected to increase significantly. The pathogenesis of AMD is based on a decrease in the metabolic and regenerative processes characteristic of aging and a violation of the microcirculation and structural organization of the retina, for which the prerequisites and mechanisms of the transition into the pathological process remain unclear. Therefore, studies on the molecular mechanisms of AMD pathogenesis and new approaches to its early diagnostics and treatments are urgently needed. In this Special Issue, authors were invited to contribute original clinical and experimental studies on different aspects related to the theme of 'Advanced Research in AMD'. Through these published articles, this Issue provided new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of AMD and has the potential to impact current and future knowledge regarding the pathogenesis and treatment of patients with AMD. New diagnostic approaches and treatment regimens, the development of multimodal visualization methods and the potential genetic and OCT markers of treatment response may help guide the future management of this disease.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...
