Protective effects of acemannan-enriched Aloe polysaccharide J2 against UVA-induced autophagic cell death in retinal pigment epithelial cells

ACJ2 exhibits remarkable cellular protective effects by suppressing UVA-induced oxidative stress and excessive autophagy in retinal pigment epithelial cells. It reduces cell damage while activating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways, highlighting its potential in protecting against ocular aging and photo-induced injury.
