Insulin receptor activation by proinsulin preserves synapses and vision in retinitis pigmentosa
2020-07-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Synaptic loss, neuronal cell death, and circuit remodeling are common features of central nervous system neurodegenerative disorders. Retinitis pigmentosa, the leading cause of inherited blindness, is a group of retinal dystrophies characterized by photoreceptor cell dysfunction and death. The insulin receptor, a key controller of metabolism, also regulates neuronal survival...
