The neuroprotection and cell survival enhancement in RP could be achieved through the administration of neurotrophic factors like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) delivered to the retina with intravitreal injections where they promote the survival of retinal cells [143,144]. Here, CNTF is linked to retinitis pigmentosa 1.
