Therapeutic Potential of α-Crystallins in Retinal Neurodegenerative Diseases
The chaperone and anti-apoptotic activity of α-crystallins (αA- and αB-) and their derivatives has received increasing attention due to their tremendous potential in preventing cell death. While originally known and described for their role in the lens, the upregulation of these proteins in cells an...
