View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Vision loss from age-related eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, or retinitis pigmentosa is a significant cause of morbidity in elderly Veterans. The cellular, genetic, and molecular homeostatic mechanisms that maintain normal retinal function and the pathomechanisms that compromise retinal function with age are poorly understood. Our long-term objective is to decipher the protective mechanisms required for normal retinal function and to identify pathomechanisms that... |
