A novel retinal ganglion cell quantification tool based on deep learning
Glaucoma is a disease associated with the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), and remains one of the primary causes of blindness worldwide. Major research efforts are presently directed towards the understanding of disease pathogenesis and the ...

MMP2 Modulates Inflammatory Response during Axonal Regeneration in the Murine Visual System
Neuroinflammation has been put forward as a mechanism triggering axonal regrowth in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), yet little is known about the underlying cellular and molecular players connecting these two processes.

MicroRNA-142a-3p regulates neurogenic skeletal muscle atrophy by targeting Mef2a
Peripheral nerve injury can lead to progressive muscle atrophy and poor motor function recovery, which is a difficult point of treatment, and the mechanism needs to be further explored.

Depressive patient‐derived GABA interneurons reveal abnormal neural activity associated with HTR2C
Major depressive disorder with suicide behavior (sMDD) is a severe mood disorder, bringing tremendous burden to family and society. Although reduced gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) level has been observed in postmortem tissues of sMDD patients, the ...
