CNTF Induces Regeneration of Cone Outer Segments in a Rat Model of Retinal Degeneration

BACKGROUND: Cone photoreceptors are responsible for color and central vision. In the late stage of retinitis pigmentosa and in geographic atrophy associated with age-related macular degeneration, cone degeneration eventually causes loss of central vision. In the present work, we investigated cone de...
