Exogenous Photoreceptor-Specific N-Glycosylated PROM1 Rescues Retinal Degeneration in Patient and Mouse Models

Ping Xu, Fuying Guo, Yuan Wang…·Xiufeng Zhong

This study demonstrates that gene therapy using AAV vectors can rescue retinal degeneration in PROM1-IRD patient and mouse models by restoring PROM1 expression and photoreceptor structure.

Longitudinal analysis of retinal cell state transitions in RB1-deficient retinal organoids reveals the nascent cone precursors are the earliest cell-origin of human retinoblastoma

Ke Ye, Yuan Wang, Ping Xu…·Xiufeng Zhong

This study identifies ATOH7+ nascent cone precursors as the earliest cell-of-origin for human retinoblastoma using RB1-deficient retinal organoids and scRNA-seq.
