Abstract Cone photoreceptor cell death in inherited retinal diseases, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), leads to the loss of high acuity and color vision and, ultimately blindness. In RP, a vast number mutations perturb structure function rod photoreceptors, while cones remain initially unaffected. Extensive advanced stages disease triggers cone by mechanism that is still largely unknown. Here, we show secondary animal models for RP associated with increased activity histone deacetylates...
Neuronal identity has long been thought of as immutable, so that once a cell acquires specific fate, it is maintained for life.1 Studies using the overexpression potent transcription factors to experimentally reprogram neuronal fate in mouse neocortex2,3 and retina4,5 have challenged this notion by revealing post-mitotic neurons can switch their identity. Whether reprogramming part normal development central nervous system (CNS) unclear. While there are some reports physiological...
