Mechanism of action of platinum nanoparticles implying from antioxidant to metabolic programming in light-induced retinal degeneration model

Redox Biology, 2023
Photoreceptors (PRs) degeneration is central to visual impairment and loss in most blind retinal diseases, including age-related macular disease (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Recent developments of neuroprotective agents for degenerative retinal disorders

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Retinal degeneration is a debilitating ocular complication characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptors and other retinal neurons, which are caused by a group of retinal diseases affecting various age groups, and increasingly prevalent in the ...

Retinal Degeneration in the Fly [PDF]

, 2011
Many genes are functionally equivalent between flies and humans. In addition, the same, or similar, mutations cause disease in both species. In fact, nearly three-fourths of all human disease genes have related sequences in Drosophila. The fly has a relatively small genome, made up of about 13,600 genes in four pairs of chromosomes.

Susceptibility to neurodegeneration in a glaucoma is modified by Bax gene dosage. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2005
In glaucoma, harmful intraocular pressure often contributes to retinal ganglion cell death. It is not clear, however, if intraocular pressure directly insults the retinal ganglion cell axon, the soma, or both.

Toll-like Receptor 2 Facilitates Oxidative Damage-Induced Retinal Degeneration

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Retinal degeneration is a form of neurodegenerative disease and is the leading cause of vision loss globally. The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary components of the innate immune system involved in signal transduction.

Necroptosis and Neuroinflammation in Retinal Degeneration

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Necroptosis mediates the chronic inflammatory phenotype in neurodegeneration. Receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) plays a pivotal role in the induction of necroptosis in various cell types, including microglia, and it is implicated in diverse neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system and the retina.

Generation of a Double Reporter mES Cell Line to Simultaneously Trace the Generation of Retinal Progenitors and Photoreceptors

Cells
Three-dimensional retinal culture systems help to understand eye development and the pathology of disorders. There is a need for reporter stem cell lines to allow in vitro studies on retinal progenitors and photoreceptors and their developmental dynamics

Phototransduction and retinal degeneration in Drosophila [PDF]

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2007
Drosophila visual transduction is the fastest known G-protein-coupled signaling cascade and has therefore served as a genetically tractable animal model for characterizing rapid responses to sensory stimulation. Mutations in over 30 genes have been identified, which affect activation, adaptation, or termination of the photoresponse.

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.
