Summary
Retinal photoreceptor degenerations account for approximately 50% of all cases of blindness in those aged over 40 in Australia. This work will investigate whether extracelllular ATP, a signalling molecule, contributes to diseases affecting retinal photoreceptors such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
