UCI researchers discover cause, develop pharmacological treatment for reducing retinitis pigmentosa vision loss
University of California, Irvine

Irvine, Calif., Jan. 26, 2022 — Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have discovered that the absence of Adiponectin receptor 1 protein (AdipoR1), one of the principal enzymes regulating ceramide homeostasis in the retina, leads to an accumulation of ceramides in the retina, resulting in progressive photoreceptor cell death and ultimately vision loss.

NIH study classifies vision loss and retinal changes in Stargardt disease
NIH, National Eye Institute (NEI)

National Eye Institute researchers developed and validated an artificial-intelligence-based method to evaluate patients with Stargardt, an eye disease that can lead to childhood vision loss. The method quantifies disease-related loss of light-sensing retina cells, yielding information for monitoring patients, understanding genetic causes of the disease, and developing therapies to treat it.
