Abstract

Retina is a part of central nervous system. Retinal degeneration is characterized by the death of photoreceptor cells, causing partial vision loss or even blindness. Retinal degeneration includes inherited retinal degeneration such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and complex retinal degeneration such as diabetic retinopathy. In this talk, I will discuss the disease mechanisms and current treatment of inherited retinal degeneration. I will also discuss techniques for retinal degeneration in mouse models.  I will demonstrate how to dissect mouse retina and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.
