Multiple evidence lines support Bruch's membrane lipid deposition as a major precursor of soft drusen and age-related macular degeneration as including a potentially treatable atherosclerosis-like progression in the subretinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-basal lamina space. We evaluated the effect of anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic peptide L-4F on Bruch's membrane of aged nonhuman primates in a dose-escalating study.
