Microglia in Retinal Degeneration [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The retina is a complex tissue with multiple cell layers that are highly ordered. Its sophisticated structure makes it especially sensitive to external or internal perturbations that exceed the homeostatic range. This necessitates the continuous surveillance of the retina for the detection of noxious stimuli.

Neural Reprogramming in Retinal Degeneration [PDF]

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2007
Early visual defects in degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) may arise from phased remodeling of the neural retina. The authors sought to explore the functional expression of ionotropic (iGluR) and group 3, type 6 metabotropic (mGluR6) glutamate receptors in late-stage photoreceptor degeneration.Excitation mapping with organic ...

The BET PROTAC inhibitor dBET6 protects against retinal degeneration and inhibits the cGAS-STING in response to light damage

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Background Chronic inflammation significantly contributes to photoreceptor death in blinding retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins are epigenetic

Neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells by the sigma-1 receptor agonist pridopidine in models of experimental glaucoma

Scientific Reports, 2021
Optic neuropathies such as glaucoma are characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration and death. The sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is an attractive target for treating optic neuropathies as it is highly expressed in RGCs, and its absence causes ...

Trans-ocular Electric Current In Vivo Enhances AAV-Mediated Retinal Gene Transduction after Intravitreal Vector Administration

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene delivery is a promising approach for therapy, but implementation in the eye currently is hampered by the need for delivering the vector underneath the retina, using surgical application into the ...

Erythropoietin Gene Therapy Delays Retinal Degeneration Resulting from Oxidative Stress in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Antioxidants, 2021
Erythropoietin (EPO) plays an important role in erythropoiesis by its action in blocking apoptosis of progenitor cells and protects both photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells from induced or inherited degeneration.

Assessing the role of T cells in response to retinal injury to uncover new therapeutic targets for the treatment of retinal degeneration

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Background Retinal degeneration is a disease affecting the eye, which is an immune-privileged site because of its anatomical and physiological properties.

mTORC1 and mTORC2 are differentially engaged in the development of laser-induced CNV

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is a potential target to inhibit pathologic processes in choroidal neovascularization. However, the exact role of mTOR signaling in the development of CNV remains obscure.

An Unusual Case of Extensive Lattice Degeneration and Retinal Detachment [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Lattice degeneration of the retina is not infrequently encountered on a dilated retinal examination and many of them do not need any intervention. We report a case of atypical lattice degeneration variant with peripheral retinal detachment.

Targeting molecular pathways for the treatment of inherited retinal degeneration

Neural Regeneration Research, 2020
Inherited retinal degeneration is a major cause of incurable blindness characterized by loss of retinal photoreceptor cells. Inherited retinal degeneration is characterized by high genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity with several genes mutated in ...
