Increased phosphorylation of Cx36 gap junctions in the AII amacrine cells of RD retina

Increased phosphorylation of Cx36 gap junctions in the AII amacrine cells of RD retina

Retinal degeneration (RD) encompasses a family of diseases that lead to photoreceptor death and visual impairment. Visual decline due to photoreceptor cell loss is further compromised by emerging spontaneous hyperactivity in inner retinal cells. This aberrant activity acts as a barrier to signals fr...
