Journal ArticleDOI

Sexual development and fertility of Loxl1-/- male mice.

TL;DR: A subtle and likely multifactorial role of the LOXL1 protein in male sexual development and fertility is suggested, suggesting a component of male-factor infertility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Light Exposure Alleviates One Form of Photoreceptor Degeneration Marked by Elevated Calcium in the Dark

TL;DR: In contrast to most forms of retinal degeneration, which are exacerbated by increased exposure to ambient light, a subset with mutations that cause overly active guanylyl cyclase and high intracellular calcium benefitted from prolonged light exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Divergent Effects of HSP70 Overexpression in Photoreceptors During Inherited Retinal Degeneration.

TL;DR: HSP70 overexpression has divergent effects in photoreceptors determined, at least in part, by the nature of the mutant protein each model carries, suggesting an initial adaptive response to cellular stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of endocytosis-associated RabGEF1 causes aberrant morphogenesis and altered autophagy in photoreceptors leading to retinal degeneration.

TL;DR: This article showed that RabGEF1 and associated components are potential candidates for syndromic traits that include a retinopathy phenotype, suggesting an early trajectory of photoreceptor cell death.
