VCP inhibition prevents cone photoreceptor degeneration in the cpfl1 mouse model of achromatopsia
Achromatopsia (ACHM) is a rare autosomal recessive retinal disorder characterized by absent cone photoreceptor function from early life, leading to severe visual impairment. Mutations in genes involved in the cone phototransduction cascade frequently result in elevated cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels and activation of stress pathways, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and…
