Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is necessary to maintain lipid homeostasis and retinal function

This study shows that RPE-specific MTP is essential for maintaining retinal lipid homeostasis and visual function, but not for plasma lipoprotein metabolism.

Abca4 inhibition in a cone-rich rodent leads to Stargardt Disease type 1-like retinal degeneration

This study shows that Abca4 inhibition in a cone-rich rodent model leads to retinal degeneration similar to human Stargardt Disease type 1.
