Restoring Useful Filed of Vision in Drosophila Using RNAi Knockdown of the eys Gene and Duloxetine Treatment
By Camille Jacome Faculty Mentor: Dr. Ginny Morriss Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa is the gradual degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina that causes vision loss over time. Mutations in the eyes shut homolog (eys), a protein coding gene necessary to support the photoreceptor cells, can lead to this condition. Earlier research has shown that Duloxetine,…
