The Invention

UW-Madison and UC-San Francisco researchers have developed a treatment for macular degeneration that uses low doses of the clinically approved molecule, zoledronic acid, which is used to treat bone diseases. Their data shows that zoledronic acid is 2,000 more potent in efficacy in their animal model as compared to their previously tested compound, desipramine.
