Cellular stress signaling and the unfolded protein response in retinal degeneration: mechanisms and therapeutic implications

Abstract Background The retina, as part of the central nervous system (CNS) with limited capacity for self-reparation and regeneration in mammals, is under cumulative environmental stress due to high-energy demands and rapid protein turnover. These stressors disrupt the cellular protein and metaboli...
