Blue light induces a neuroprotective gene expression program in Drosophila photoreceptors

Abstract Background Light exposure induces oxidative stress, which contributes to ocular diseases of aging. Blue light provides a model for light-induced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and retinal degeneration in Drosophila melanogaster. In contrast to mature adults, which undergo retinal dege...
