Poly ADP ribosylation and extracellular vesicle activity in rod photoreceptor degeneration

Abstract excerpt

Retinitis Pigmentosa is a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases that result in selective cell death of photoreceptors. In the developed world, RP is regarded as the main cause of blindness among the working age population. The precise mechanisms eventually leading to cell death remain unknown and to date no adequate treatment for RP is available. Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) over activity is involved...
