Preventing visual function loss in the rd10 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa using gene editing

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni

Currently, there is no known cure for retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Even if some treatments can slow down the progression of the disease, none of them can effectively stop retinal degeneration. This study exploits the possibility of an early intervention in p ...
