Hereditary retinal dystrophies (HRD) represent a significant cause of blindness, affecting mostly retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors (PRs), and currently suffer from a lack of effective treatments.
This review article will give an overview of current knowledge on the molecules and proteins involved in cytoskeleton formation in cells, including RPE and how the cytoskeleton is affected under stress conditions-especially in AMD.

Pigment epithelial detachment (PED), the anatomical separation of the retinal pigment epithelium from the Bruch membrane, is common in many chorioretinal diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
The present study is aimed to investigate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of UMSC injection employing two different routes (sub-tenon injection versus suprachoroidal injection) for the treatment of RP in human subjects.
The airway epithelium stretches and relaxes during the normal respiratory cycle, and hyperventilation exaggerates this effect, resulting in changes in lung physiology.
Voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna®), a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapy, delivers a functioning copy of the human retinal pigment epithelium-specific 65 kDa (RPE65) gene into retinal cells of patients with reduced or absent levels of RPE65 protein, providing the potential to restore the visual cycle.
