In multiple oxidative stress models of retinal degeneration, elevated GPX4 expression has been shown to protect photoreceptors and RPECs, suggesting that increasing GPX4 expression may represent a potential gene therapy approach for patients with AMD ( Researchers have reported that mitochondrial destruction, fragmentation, and destruction occur in the RPE of patients with AMD (233)
