Abstract excerpt
Unregulated Ca2+ influx affects intracellular Ca2+ homoeostasis, which may lead to neuronal death. In Drosophila, following the activation of rhodopsin the TRP Ca2+ channel is open to mediate the light-dependent depolarization. A constitutively active TRP channel triggers the degeneration of TrpP365 /+ photoreceptors. To explore retinal degeneration, we employed a multidisciplinary approach including live imaging...
