Abstract

The article discusses the challenge of testing retinal degeneration therapies due to anatomical differences between human and animal retinas. It presents three inducible cynomolgus macaque models of retinal degeneration such as optogenetics-based ablation, CRISPR-Cas9-induced rod-cone dystrophy, and an acute model using a polymer patch for photoreceptor separation.
