A NOVEL CAUSE OF VISION LOSS

Grant number: 1061418 | Funding period: 2014 - 2017

Completed

Abstract

This project will examine a novel way that photoreceptors in the eye are regulated. In particular, the communication between resident immune cells and photoreceptors will be examined. The results will form an important foundation on which to develop novel treatments for diseases like Age Related Macular Degeneration.
