Loss of synaptic connectivity, particularly in second order neurons is a key feature of diabetic retinal neuropathy in the Ins2Akita mouse.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Retinal neurodegeneration is a key component of diabetic retinopathy (DR), although the detailed neuronal damage remains ill-defined. Recent evidence suggests that in addition to amacrine and ganglion cell, diabetes may also impact on other retinal ...

Photoreceptor Inner Segment Morphology in Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016

Cis‐ and Trans‐Regulatory Factors Independently Shape Phenotypic Heterogeneity of Retinitis Pigmentosa

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A zebrafish model carrying an identical human RHO S334X allele reveals two independent genetic layers shaping retinitis pigmentosa (RP) severity: a protective 3‐bp cis‐regulatory insertion that attenuates transgene expression, and a dominant trans‐acting modifier that restores a severe phenotype.

NAALAD2 mutations disrupt the fate of photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cells during early retinal development

open access: yesPharmacological Research
In recent years, the global incidence of myopia has steadily increased, highlighting the importance of prevention and early intervention, particularly in the absence of effective treatments.

Inner retinal change in a novel rd1-FTL mouse model of retinal degeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
While photoreceptor loss is the most devastating result of inherited retinal degenerations such as retinitis pigmentosa, inner retinal neurons also undergo significant alteration.

The Na+/Ca2+, K+ exchanger NCKX4 is required for efficient cone-mediated vision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Calcium (Ca2+) plays an important role in the function and health of neurons. In vertebrate cone photoreceptors, Ca2+ controls photoresponse sensitivity, kinetics, and light adaptation.

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Disruption of the basal body protein POC1B results in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation (c.317C>G [p.Arg106Pro]) in POC1B, encoding POC1 centriolar protein B, in three siblings with autosomal-recessive cone dystrophy or cone-rod dystrophy and compound-heterozygous POC1B mutations (c ...

Human iPSC differentiation to retinal organoids in response to IGF1 and BMP4 activation is line- and method-dependent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)‐derived retinal organoids provide a platform to study human retinogenesis, disease modeling, and compound screening.
