Modulation of Presynaptic Inhibitory Retinal Circuits for Retinal Ganglion Cell Neuroprotection in Glaucoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ocular hypertension induces early hyperactivity in inner retinal inhibitory circuitry before substantial retinal ganglion cell loss. Sustained pharmacological inhibition of GABAergic/glycinergic neurotransmission and Vgat‐targeted Lin28 expression suppress this hyperactivity and improve RGC survival without reducing intraocular pressure. These findings

Umbilical Cord Stem Cells in the Treatment of Corneal Diseases

, 2023
To restore transparency and function, corneal specialists currently utilise stem cells of different origins, bioengineered cells and biomaterials. Stem cells are capable of giving rise to progenies with specific functional and morphological traits and in

Heterozygous Variants in LRP1 Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder With Congenital Heart Defects

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT LRP1 encodes the low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1), a transmembrane protein involved in endocytosis and activation of multiple signaling pathways. LRP1 variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects (CHD), Alzheimer's disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).

Birefringent properties of the human cornea in vivo : towards a new model of corneal structure [PDF]

The fundamental corneal properties of mechanical rigidity, maintenance of curvature and optical transparency result from the specific organisation of collagen fibrils in the corneal stroma. The exact arrangement of stromal collagen is currently unknown

1,2‐propanediol reformulation improves tribromoethanol safety and reveals pontine GABRA1 enrichment as a candidate mechanistic correlate of anesthesia

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study develops a reformulated tribromoethanol (TBE) anesthetic using 1,2‐propanediol as a solvent to overcome solvent‐related toxicity. The novel formulation demonstrates, cardiovascular stability, and survival in prolonged protocols. It provides potent, dose‐dependent anesthesia without strain or sex differences.
