Antioxidant gene delivery protects photoreceptors
The inherited form of blindness retinitis pigmentosa (RP) results from a progressive loss of photoreceptors. RP-associated mutations directly promote the death of rod cells, which are required for vision in low light, and indirectly promote the subs...
