Autophagy disruption and mitochondrial stress precede photoreceptor necroptosis in multiple mouse models of inherited retinal disorders

Abstract excerpt

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. One of the greatest barriers to developing treatments for IRDs is the heterogeneity of these disorders, with causative mutations identified in over 280 genes. It is therefore a priority to find therapies applicable to a broad range of genetic causes. To do so requires a greater understanding of the common or overlapping molecular...
