Modulating the Kynurenine pathway or sequestering toxic 3-hydroxykynurenine protects the retina from light induced damage in <i>Drosophila</i>
2022-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Tissue health is regulated by a myriad of exogenous or endogenous factors. Here we investigated the role of the conserved Kynurenine pathway (KP) in maintaining retinal homeostasis in the context of light stress in Drosophila melanogaster . cinnabar, cardinal and, scarlet , are fly genes that encode different steps in the KP. Along with white , these genes are known regulators of brown pigment (ommochrome) bio...
