Frederick, Jeanne M. | Neurotransmitter properties of the newborn human retina. | Human retinal tissue from a newborn was examined autoradiographically for the presence of highaffinity uptake and localization of the following putative neurotransmitters: dopamine, glycine, GAB A, aspartate, and glutamate. In addition, the dopamine content of this newborn retina was measured by ... | Newborn; Human Retina; Neurotransmitter Properties; Photoreceptors | 1983 |

Frederick, Jeanne M. | RNA interference gene therapy in dominant retinitis pigmentosa and cone-rod dystrophy mouse models caused by GCAP1 mutations | RNA interference (RNAi) knockdown is an efficacious therapeutic strategy for silencing genes causative for dominant retinal dystrophies. To test this, we used self-complementry (sc) AAV2/8 vector to develop an RNAi-based therapy in two dominant retinal degeneration mouse models. The allele-specific ... | 2014-01-01 | |

Zhang, Kang | Loss of ER retention and sequestration of the wild-type ELOVL4 by Stargardt disease dominant negative mutants | PURPOSE: Mutations in ELOVL4, a member of the fatty acid elongase (ELO) family, are responsible for autosomal dominant Stargardt-like macular degeneration. The specific role of ELOVL4 in photoreceptors and the degenerative events induced by dominant ELOVL4 mutations are not well understood.

Normann, Richard A.; Horch, Kenneth W.; Cha, Kichul | Mobility performance with a pixelized vision system | A visual prosthesis, based on electrical stimulation of the visual cortex, has been suggested as a means for partially restoring functional vision in the blind. The prosthesis would create a pixelized visual sense consisting of punctate spots of light (phosphenes).
