This study shows that ROM1 can be replaced by increased PRPH2 levels to restore normal photoreceptor disc structure in knockout mice.

The paper shows that oxidative stress in RPE cells leads to exosome-mediated shedding of desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, indicating early blood-retinal barrier dysfunction.

This study shows incisures in photoreceptor discs form after complete enclosure and are regulated by the ratio of peripherin-2 to rhodopsin.

This study uses quantitative mass spectrometry to determine the absolute protein abundances in mouse rod outer segments, resolving discrepancies and showing high precision in molar ratios.

The paper identifies the WAVE complex as the nucleation promoting factor for actin polymerization during photoreceptor outer segment disc morphogenesis and shows its necessity for proper outer segment formation.

This study shows that disrupting the ciliary gradient of active Arl3 causes rod photoreceptor nuclear migration defects in mice, which can be rescued by restoring the gradient.
