Analysis of retinal proteins identifies new drug targets for treating inherited retinal degenerations
An international team of researchers has identified new drug targets for therapies that could benefit patients with different forms of retinitis pigmentosa and other inherited retinal diseases. Using advanced proteomics techniques, they unveiled shared critical pathways in retinitis pigmentosa disease models. The study represents significant progress in understanding how the proteome may change in different retinal dystrophies. Published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, the study was carried out by researchers from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), the University of California,
