Protective Gene Expression Changes Elicited by an Inherited Defect in Photoreceptor Structure
20 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Inherited defects in retinal photoreceptor structure impair visual transduction, disrupt relationship with the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and compromise cell viability. A variety of progressive retinal degenerative diseases can result, and knowledge of disease etiology remains incomplete. To investigate pathogenic mechanisms in such instances, we have characterized rod photoreceptor and retinal gene...
