Scavenging of retinoid cation radicals by urate, trolox, and α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherols [PDF]
Retinoids are present in human tissues exposed to light and under increased risk of oxidative stress, such as the retina and skin. Retinoid cation radicals can be formed as a result of the interaction between retinoids and other radicals or ...

Long‐term predictive outcomes of stem cell therapy for degenerative retinal diseases
Abstract Background Stem cell transplantation is a promising therapy for degenerative retinal diseases, including age‐related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and Stargardt's disease (STGD). This study quantitatively evaluates long‐term outcomes of different stem cell treatments.

Molecular diagnosis of putative Stargardt disease probands by exome sequencing
Background The commonest genetic form of juvenile or early adult onset macular degeneration is Stargardt Disease (STGD) caused by recessive mutations in the gene ABCA4. However, high phenotypic and allelic heterogeneity and a small but non-trivial amount

Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]
The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...
