Furthermore, we describe observations in other light-damage systems as well as characteristics of animal models for RP with particular emphasis on rescue strategies.

The review states that neuroprotective cytokines tested in light-damage and RP animal models show diverging efficacy, and some protect in both settings.
The review highlights investigation of dead-cell removal and debris clearance during retinal apoptosis as an important future direction.
Inhibition of rhodopsin regeneration and suppression of AP-1 are described as conferring complete protection in the review's model system.
The mechanisms of neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic action are described as a black box that still needs to be explored.
