Targeting molecular pathways for the treatment of inherited retinal degeneration [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2020
Inherited retinal degeneration is a major cause of incurable blindness characterized by loss of retinal photoreceptor cells. Inherited retinal degeneration is characterized by high genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity with several genes mutated in ...

A spontaneous nonhuman primate model of inherited retinal degeneration [PDF]

open access: yesJCI Insight
Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are important causes of progressive, irreversible blindness. Hereditary macular diseases, in particular, are significant in their effect on the specialized, central cone photoreceptor–rich macula responsible for ...

Drug Discovery Strategies for Inherited Retinal Degenerations

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Inherited retinal degeneration is a group of blinding disorders afflicting more than 1 in 4000 worldwide. These disorders frequently cause the death of photoreceptor cells or retinal ganglion cells.

Neural and Müller glial adaptation of the retina to photoreceptor degeneration

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2023
The majority of inherited retinal degenerative diseases and dry age-related macular degeneration are characterized by decay of the outer retina and photoreceptors, which leads to progressive loss of vision.

Highly sensitive visual restoration and protection via ectopic expression of chimeric rhodopsin in mice

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Photoreception requires amplification by mammalian rhodopsin through G protein activation, which requires a visual cycle. To achieve this in retinal gene therapy, we incorporated human rhodopsin cytoplasmic loops into Gloeobacter rhodopsin ...

Oxidative Stress as a Main Contributor of Retinal Degenerative Diseases

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Retinal degenerative diseases, including inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) and acquired multifactorial diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) or ganglion cell damage secondary to glaucoma or other ...

A treatment within sight: challenges in the development of stem cell-derived photoreceptor therapies for retinal degenerative diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Transplantation, 2023
Stem cell therapies can potentially treat various retinal degenerative diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and inherited retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa.
