Genetic reactivation of cone photoreceptors restores visual responses in retinitis pigmentosa
Summary:
This paper discusses the potential for eNpHR-based gene therapy to restore complex visual responses in Retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease, and the criteria for selecting patients for this therapy.
