β-Secretase (BACE1) inhibition causes retinal pathology by vascular dysregulation and accumulation of age pigment

β-Secretase (BACE1) is a major drug target for combating Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we show that BACE1(−/−) mice develop significant retinal pathology including retinal thinning, apoptosis, reduced retinal vascular density and an increase in the age pigment, lipofuscin. BACE1 expression is...
