A human model of Batten disease shows role of CLN3 in phagocytosis at the photoreceptor–RPE interface

CLN3 disease is characterised by childhood-onset vision loss and premature death. Using patient-derived retinal cells, the authors show that CLN3 is required for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell structure, microvilli and phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments that are essential for vision...
