Activation of ER stress mediated by HspB4/Cryaa reduction contributes to photoreceptor apoptosis in rd9 mouse model of X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa
Results identify Cryaa as a critical regulator of ER stress and demonstrate that its reduction promotes UPR activation and subsequent photoreceptor apoptosis in the rd9 model, revealing a key role for Cryaa in XLRP pathology and may provide a novel therapeutic perspective for this disease.
