Targeting Connexin 43 in Retinal Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival in Glaucomatous Injury

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
Astrocytes play an important role in glaucoma. These cells express Cx43, which can form gap junctions and hemichannels. This study shows that Cx43 deletion in astrocytes provides neuroprotection in glaucoma, possibly through hemichannel activation. ABSTRACT Astrocytes in the retina and optic nerve head play an important role in the pathogenesis of ...
