Idebenone protects against retinal damage and loss of vision in a mouse model of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The disease is characterized by loss of central vision due to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dysfunction and optic nerve atrophy. Despite progress towards a b...
