Retinal Degenerations is the result of The International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration
which has become perhaps the most important research meeting in the field. The topics
in this volume explore the etiology, cellular mechanisms, epidemiology, generics,
models and potential therapeutic measures for the blinding diseases of retinitis pigmentosa
and age-related macular degeneration. Special focus is highlighted in the areas of
Mechanisms of Photoreceptor Degeneration and Cell Death (extremely important because
very little is known how or why photoreceptors die in these diseases, despite an
