1. Genes and proteins controlled by cGMP-PKG during retinal degeneration
Sammanfattning : prevalence was reported as 1:3000-4000 worldwide, making it the main reason for blindness in the working population in industrial countries. The mutations of over 70 genes have been related to this genetic disorder, and there is generally no effective treatment, except for gene therapy for the RPE65 mutations. LÄS MER
2. Oxidative stress-related damage of retinal pigment epithelial cells : possible protective properties of autophagocytosed iron-binding proteins
Sammanfattning : Oxidative stress is a major pathogenic factor in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the most common cause of severe central visual impairment in the elderly population in the western world.It is believed that the degenerative process starts in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).

3. Energy Transduction and Sensory Signalling in Haloarchaea Structural Characterisation of the Photocycles of Bacteriorhodopsin and Sensory Rhodopsin II
Sammanfattning : Archaeal rhodopsins belong a subfamily of heptahelical transmembrane proteins. All contain a buried retinal chromophore covalently bound to a conserved lysine residue in helix G via a protonated Schiff base. LÄS MER
4. Blue light induced retinal damage
Sammanfattning : Visual perception results from a response to radiation between 400 and 760 mu reaching the retina. Photoreceptor cells are differentiated post-mitotic retinal neurons uniquely adapted for the efficient capture of photons and for the initiation of visual transduction. LÄS MER
5. The potential role of retinal cGMP-interaction partners within the degeneration mechanism causing Retinitis Pigmentosa
Sammanfattning : The eye disease Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) represents a heterogeneous group of inherited retinal dystrophies, and it has been estimated that 1 in 3000 to 7000 people worldwide has the disease. The symptoms of RP are photoreceptor degeneration that leads to night blindness, followed by a decline in peripheral and central vision, and potential blindness. LÄS MER
