Statistical modelling of neuron degeneration [PDF]
, 2013 SUMMARY: Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease are all examples of neurodegenerative disorders that result from the premature death of nerve cells or neurons.

The Evolution of Fabrication Methods in Human Retina Regeneration
Applied Sciences, 2021 Optic nerve and retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) often cause permanent sight loss. Currently, a limited number of retinal diseases can be treated.

Effect of purified murine NGF on isolated photoreceptors of a rodent developing retinitis pigmentosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A number of different studies have shown that neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor (NGF) support the survival of retinal ganglion neurons during a variety if insults.

Cell-based assays to identify novel retinoprotective agents
MethodsX, 2020 Degeneration of the retina can lead ultimately to devastating irreversible vision loss, such as in inherited retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Currently there is no cure to prevent retinal degeneration.
