Is “normal tension glaucoma” glaucoma?

Medical Hypotheses, 2019
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) represents a distinct disease entity with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) as the main risk factor, even though the reasons for why the IOP is elevated remains to be elucidated. It is considered that normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a subtype of POAG, comprising a special form of glaucomatous neurodegeneration or ...

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]

, 2017
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

Microglia Drive Peripapillary Vascular Density Reduction in Normal Tension Glaucoma by Regulating the Rpl17/Stat5b/Apoa1 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study revealed that E50K mutant microglia drive retinal peripapillary vascular density reduction in NTG via the Rpl17/Stat5b/Apoa1 axis and identified Apoa1 as a novel suppressor of retinal vascular endothelial cells. These findings identify a potential therapeutic target for glaucoma and support the clinical potential of EA for protecting RGCs ...

Retinitis Pigmentosa‐Associated Gene TRIM49 Regulates ULK1‐Mediated Autophagy and Photoreceptor Phagocytosis by the Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on next‐generation sequencing data of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients and controls, this study identifies TRIM49 as a novel gene for autosomal recessive RP. TRIM49 is specifically expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of human retina.

Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells are resistant to cell injury, but not always [PDF]

, 2017
Melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) are intrinsically photosensitive RGCs deputed to non-image forming functions of the eye such as synchronization of circadian rhythms to light-dark cycle.

Biomimetic Thalidomide Nanoparticles: Targeted and Sustained Therapeutic Strategy for Oxygen‐Induced Retinopathy

Aggregate, EarlyView.
Magnesium acetyl taurate and thalidomide co‐assembled nanoparticles (MT NPs) are prepared via Super‐stable Pure Nanomedicine Formulation Technology (SPFT), and the NPs are further coated with transferrin‐modified cell membrane vesicles to construct Tfm@MT nanomedicine for oxygen‐induced retinopathy treatment.
