Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRD are genetic disorders that can cause severe vision loss or even blindness.

According to researchers, these chronic, progressive retinal diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa, arise from genetic and environmental disruptions of cellular and tissue stability.

Scientists at Medical College of Georgia demonstrated in their animal model of retinopathy of prematurity that the small molecule K604, which is being explored in cancer and Alzheimer’s, can block the development of leaky, obstructive blood vessels in the retina, tamp down inflammation and enable more normal blood vessel growth
