Scientists Identify New Protein That Drives Age-Related Blindness, Uncover Potential Therapy

"I think we identified something that can target early-stage disease... That’s a big deal..."

Authored by Cara Michelle Miller: Researchers have identified a protein that may prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a new study published in the Developmental Cell on Oct. 2.

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss among older adults, affecting nearly 20 million Americans. As the population ages, this number is expected to rise significantly. Currently, there are no treatments that can stop AMD’s progression.

“I think we identified something that can target early-stage disease. ... That’s a big deal,” the study’s lead author Ruchira Singh, an associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Rochester in New York, told The Epoch Times.

The study used human stem cells rather than animal models, which may give a more accurate depiction of what is happening in AMD, according to the researchers.

“Older research methods have been limited in their ability to capture important aspects of either healthy or diseased human cells,” Singh noted.

Researchers Identify the Protein Driving AMD

The researchers extracted human stem cells from healthy people and AMD patients and programmed them into cells lining the retina.

Compared to healthy people, AMD patients’ retinal cells overproduced a type of protein called tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3), which leads to a buildup of fats and proteins called drusen. Drusen are a marker of early-stage AMD.

At This Time In The World There Is Only One Important Decision Waiting to be Made

'The neoconservatives’ agenda of hegemony has produced a more dangerous situation than the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Washington has not acted to defuse the crisis.'

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Except for the neoconservatives whose agenda it is, I sometimes wonder if I am the only other person who understands what the Ukraine conflict is about. While we await Washington’s decision about firing missiles into Russia, I will explain how we reached the current crisis.

In 2007 Washington declared war on Russia without announcing it. Putin provoked Washington’s secret declaration of war when he rejected Washington’s uni-polar hegemony at the Munich Security Conference.

Washington’s first attack was a year later when, while Putin was distracted at the Beijing Olympics, Washington sent a US trained and equipped Georgian army into South Ossetia. The purpose was not to defeat Russia militarily. Instead, it was a calculated risk that Putin might stand down and to avoid a military conflict that the West could misrepresent as restoring the Soviet Empire, and allow the Russian protectorate to be absorbed into Georgia. The American neoconservatives were gambling with lives not their own that Putin and thereby Russia would be weakened by giving in, thus opening more paths of aggression against Russia.

The neoconservatives’ plot against Putin might have worked except the Georgian invaders killed Russian peace-keepers. In 2008 Putin was trying to resurrect Russian pride, which was lost with the Soviet collapse 1991, and could not turn his back on dead Russian soldiers in South Ossetia. He returned from China, sent in an army, and smashed the US trained and equipped Georgian army in 5 days.

"Prime Minister Keir Starmer, lying through his teeth to the entire nation, not for the first time obviously with his loose relationship with the truth, but he might as well have been draped in the blue and white flag of Israel as he gave that drivelish speech"

KernowDamo: Keir Starmer has told one of the most egregious and dangerous lies ever and he needs to be held to account for it.

Right, so Keir Starmer has just told in my view the most egregious and dangerous lie he’s ever told. What he’s done is not in the interests of peace or national security, or global relations, what he’s done is effectively public relations for the most moral army in the world the Israeli Defence to actually demonstrate just how utterly immoral it is, by telling a pack of lies in order to justify more aggression against their neighbouring states and driving the risk of wider scale conflict up even higher.

What he has said to the nation should be the end of him as Prime Minister, because he’s clearly not running this in country in our interests, but in the blatant interest of another state entirely, I cannot overestimate the ramifications of what he’s now done, you have to see it to believe it, you might have missed it if you’ve seen this already, and I apologise in advance to anybody of a sensitive disposition, I give you advance warning, because I am about to show a clip of Keir Starmer and I realise some of you may find this upsetting.

Most Americans Want To Stop Arming Israel - Politicians Don’t Care

The number of Americans opposed to sending arms to Israel has grown, month after month, as the brutal genocide on Gaza grinds on.

Jonah Valdez: When Kamala Harris sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash last month, Bash asked a question: “Would you withhold some U.S. weapons shipments to Israel? That’s what a lot of people on the progressive left want you to do.”

Harris sidestepped the question, talked about a ceasefire, and ultimately said that she would not change course from the Biden administration’s policy of arming Israel as its war on Gaza enters its 11th month.

But polls of the American voting population show that she’s ignoring more than just the “progressive left”: A majority of voters support ending arms transfers to Israel, and support for an arms embargo is growing.

“The reality is that the public is far more in favor of stopping arms sales to Israel than opposed,” Yousef Munayyer, head of the Palestine/Israel Program at Arab Center Washington D.C., told The Intercept. He pointed to a June poll from CBS that showed 61 percent of all Americans said the U.S. should not send weapons to Israel, including 77 percent of Democrats and nearly 40 percent of Republicans.

Poll results have been consistent for months.

Since the start of the war in Gaza, a majority of Americans have expressed support for some form of restrictions on the U.S. sending weapons to Israel in repeated public surveys. Americans are even more overwhelmingly in favor of a ceasefire.

“The truth now seems less discernible, and I regret how much ground has been lost during that time period. How expressing the truth has been undermined, attacked, weakened and diminished

“I see more retaliation for telling truth, and more self-censorship. It’s hard not to draw a line from the U.S. government’s persecution of me, its crossing the Rubicon by internationally criminalizing journalism to the chilled climate for freedom of expression existing now.”— Julian Assange.

Military Watch Magazine Editorial Staff: A massive Iranian ballistic missile strike on targets in Israel launched on October 1 has targeted Nevatim Air Base, among other key targets in the country. The facility hosts both of the Israeli Air Force’s F-35 fifth generation fighter squadrons, and was previously intended to host a third squadron of the fighters after they were delivered. Iranian media sources have reported that the facility was “completely destroyed” in the attack. Footage from Israel has confirmed the impact of dozens of ballistic missiles which Israel’s air defence network failed to shoot down, with targets impacted including the headquarters of the intelligence agency Mossad, located in Tel Aviv which was levelled by the attack.

Lavrov Tells UN That The West Is On A Path To Destruction

Attempts to fight with Russia are suicidal: Lavrov’s main statements at the UN General Assembly session

PCR: Lavrov said that the United States is preparing Europe for a suicidal adventure against the Russian Federation

Lavrov declared the senselessness of “suicidal attempts” to fight to victory with the Russian Federation

At the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke about the futility of conducting military operations against Russia, emphasizing its status as a nuclear power. He also called on countries offering peace initiatives to resolve the conflict in Ukraine to take into account the root causes of the crisis. These and other statements of Lavrov — in the article URA.RU.

The suicidal adventure of the West

Sergey Lavrov expressed the opinion that London and Washington are setting Europe up for a conflict with Moscow, which he described as a “suicidal adventure.” Lavrov mentioned that there is a goal to hit Russia strategically, comparing the current intentions with the secretly developed “Unthinkable” plan in May 1945, which aimed to destroy the Soviet Union. The minister noted that unlike in the past, modern Anglo-Saxon strategies do not hide their intentions and, although they currently expect to defeat Russia with the help of the Kiev regime, which he called neo-Nazi and illegitimate, they also prepare Europe for participation in this conflict.

John Helmer Reporting From Moscow Indicates That Putin Is Preparing Russia’s Surrender

Will this be Putin’s legacy?

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: From the beginning of the Ukraine conflict I have said that Putin would have to conquer Ukraine or surrender. The latest information from Moscow suggests that Putin has chosen to surrender, with surrender defined by Putin giving up enough of his goals for the Special Military Operation to get a peace agreement. How many and what they would be is not known.

At first glance, if Putin has made such a choice, it is an honorable, humane decision that places the life of the planet above Russian national sovereignty. Putin, of course, will not get any credit for it. The official narrative will be a defeated Russia got the best deal it could.` But at second glance, Putin’s surrender to the West merely kicks the can down the road.

Putin’s surrender could undermine his support and Russian unity and encourage Washington’s effort to breakup the Russian Federation into several small countries that lack the ability to serve as a constraint on American hegemony. The Russian military is opposed to trading concessions for peace, and Putin has removed one of his critics.

Helmer reports that one month after the Russia-Ukraine conflict began, Putin, who has no taste for war, sent a peacemaker, Vladimir Medinsky, to Instanbul to negotiate peace with Ukraine. Medinsky appears to be an Atlanticist Integrationist, who thinks Russia can build bridges to the West with cultural exhibitions, orchestral and ballet performances, and museum exhibits. Apparently, he believes this despite the Wests’s ban on any semblance of Russian culture, including Olympic athletes.

The Russian military rejected the peace terms Medinsky negotiated in Turkey. Fortunately for Putin, Washington made Ukraine reject them, saving Putin from a confrontation with the Russian military.

Now approaching three years of a conflict that a real national leader would have ended in 3 weeks, Putin has his back to the wall. There is no space left to which to retreat. Faced with US/NATO missiles fired into Russia, Putin says it means World War. If Putin backs down again, Russia is finished.

Jordan has just given Israel and it's allies a massive headache as they drop a truthbomb at the UN none of them saw coming!

Right, so of all nations in the Middle East right now, one that has remained broadly neutral, even seen to be siding with Israel at times, has been Jordan. Perhaps it’s extremely close proximity to both Israel and the West Bank, being on the opposite side of the Jordan river as it is, might well explain it’s reasons for that for many, at the very least it hasn’t been the first country to spring to mind when people consider who are taking the fight to Israel, but there are more ways than taking up arms to take on another nation and a war of words has erupted at the UN courtesy of Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, which has gone almost completely without comment from our mainstream media here in the UK and it really warrants some coverage, because he absolutely nailed Israel’s true intentions, hammered Netanyahu for his drivel of a speech to the United Nations, essentially handing him his backside and telling the world that Israel cannot be allowed, cannot be permitted to hold the entire Middle East hostage as it seeks to broaden it’s war against Palestinian Occupied Territories and Lebanon.
