Excessive Activation of Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Contributes to Inherited Photoreceptor Degeneration in the Retinal Degeneration 1 Mouse
19 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited blinding disease for which there is no treatment available. It is characterized by a progressive and neurodegenerative loss of photoreceptors but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Excessive activation of the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) has recently been shown to be involved in several neuropathologies. To investigate the possible role of PARP...
