Peroxisomes and vision: what is the role of peroxisomal oxidation in the retina? KU Leuven
The crucial function of peroxisomes for vision is illustrated by the fact that prominent ophthalmological pathology, including retinopathy, occurs in nearly all peroxisomal diseases. Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles that play an essential role in oxygen and lipid metabolism, but their precise contribution to the maintenance of tissue homeostasis is still largely obscure. According to our preliminary data, the retina of mice with ...
