Proposed model for inner blood-retina barrier involvement in dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) pathology and in particular the end-stage, geographic atrophy. Cessation of claudin-5 cyclical expression at the iBRB can lead to the accumulation of drusen and the subsequent degeneration and atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
