Effects of Calcium Ion, Calpains, and Calcium Channel Blockers on Retinitis Pigmentosa

Recent advances in molecular genetic studies have revealed many of the causative genes of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). These achievements have provided clues to the mechanisms of photoreceptor degeneration in RP. Apoptosis is known to be a final common pathway in RP and, therefore, a possible therapeu...
