Autophagy Impairment in Retinal Ganglion Cells Following Hypoglycemia in Mice
Cells(1) Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), caused by hypo- and hyperglycaemia, is the leading cause of blindness. Hypoglycemia induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and retinal cell death in mice, and low-glucose conditions induce macroautophagy/autophagy

Cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation to prevent age-related macular degeneration
Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation, 2008 Background Tobacco smoking is a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration, but studies of ex-smokers suggest quitting can reduce the risk. Methods We fitted a function predicting the decline in risk of macular degeneration after quitting to data ...
