Aviceda: The Pioneers in Glycotherapeutics

Macular Degeneration is a serious concern among older adults worldwide. It is a progressive eye disorder that affects a person’s central vision. Age–related macular degeneration (AMD) though unique in many ways, is prototypical of a disease of inflammed aging (Inflammaging). The most common cause of the disease is immune aging, that is age–related dysfunction of the immune system.
