Abstract
Song et al. (Nature Methods, 2022) engineered a 3D model of the human outer blood-retina barrier (oBRB) that recapitulates key features of healthy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-affected eyes.<sup>1</sup> We shine a spotlight on this tissue-engineering triumph that has the potential to transform preclinical studies of AMD and other eye diseases.
