Exacerbated response to oxidative stress in the Retinitis Pigmentosa Cerkl mouse model triggers retinal degeneration pathways upon acute light stress
29 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
The retina is particularly vulnerable to genetic and environmental alterations that generate oxidative stress and cause cellular damage in photoreceptors and other retinal neurons, eventually leading to cell death. CERKL (CERamide Kinase-Like) mutations cause Retinitis Pigmentosa and Cone-Rod Dystrophy in humans, two disorders characterized by photoreceptor degeneration and progressive vision loss. CERKL is a...
