Sfrp1 deficiency makes retinal photoreceptors prone to degeneration

Abstract Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from impaired vision, a condition with multiple origins that often impinge upon the light sensing cells of the retina, the photoreceptors, affecting their integrity. The molecular components contributing to this integrity are however not yet fully un...
