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

Impact of Highly Effective Modulator Therapy on Olfactory‐Specific Gene Expression in People With Cystic Fibrosis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis is common in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). Highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) has been shown to improve sinonasal outcomes. However, prior studies failed to show improvement in objective olfaction with HEMT, and the impact of HEMT on olfactory‐specific quality of life has yet to be studied ...

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Gut wall physiology in multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune neurologic diseases remains underexplored but may span gut barrier dysfunction, enteric glial targeting, mucosal immune dysregulation, and autoimmune targets within the enteric nervous system (ENS).
