CNTF Induces Regeneration of Cone Outer Segments in a Rat Model of Retinal Degeneration
2 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cone photoreceptors are responsible for color and central vision. In the late stage of retinitis pigmentosa and in geographic atrophy associated with age-related macular degeneration, cone degeneration eventually causes loss of central vision. In the present work, we investigated cone degeneration secondary to rod loss in the S334ter-3 transgenic rats carrying the rhodopsin mutation S334ter....
