Findings from University of Iowa Health Care Update Understanding of Neurodegeneration (Progressive Inner Retinal Neurodegeneration In Non-proliferative Macular Telangiectasia Type 2).

A recent study conducted at the University of Iowa Health Care focused on understanding neurodegeneration in patients with non-proliferative macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel). The research found that patients with MacTel experience progressive inner retinal neurodegeneration, similar to those with diabetes but without diabetic retinopathy. The study highlighted the need for further research to comprehend the implications of retinal thinning in MacTel patients. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights into the understanding of neurodegeneration in individuals with MacTel. [Extracted from the article]
