Limiting certain light exposure has potential to prevent inherited retinal dystrophy

Credit: JCI Insight (2024). DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.174179 A joint team effort led by Dr. Haruhisa Inoue (Professor, Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation, CiRA) has established iPS cells from two patients with EYS-associated retinal dystrophies (EYS-RD) and converted them into retinal organoids to study the root cause of this debilitating visual disability. The study is published in JCI Insight. Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) represent a collection of degenerative eye pathologies affecting photoreceptor cells in the retina that may ultimately result in irreversible vision loss. IRD is a leading cause of visual Read More
