Bone spicule pigment formation in retinitis pigmentosa: insights from a mouse model.
BACKGROUND: Bone spicule pigments (BSP) are a hallmark of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In this study, we examined the process of BSP formation in the rhodopsin knockout (rho (-/-)) mouse, a murine model for human RP. METHODS: In rho (-/-) mice from 2 to 16 months of age, representing the range from e...
