Nrl knockdown by AAV-delivered CRISPR/Cas9 prevents retinal degeneration in mice

In retinitis pigmentosa, loss of cone photoreceptors leads to blindness, and preservation of cone function is a major therapeutic goal. However, cone loss is thought to occur as a secondary event resulting from degeneration of rod photoreceptors. Here we report a genome editing approach in which ade...
