Stimulation of AMPK prevents degeneration of photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium

Retinal degenerative diseases are generally characterized by a permanent loss of light-sensitive retinal neurons known as photoreceptors, or their support cells, the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). Metabolic dysfunction has been implicated as a common mechanism of degeneration. In this study, we...
