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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Noninvasive, In Vivo Assessment of Mouse Retinal Structure Using Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel method of retinal in vivo imaging. In this study, we assessed the potential of OCT to yield histology-analogue sections in mouse models of retinal degeneration.

Targeting molecular pathways for the treatment of inherited retinal degeneration

open access: yesNeural 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesCell 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]

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesRedox 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).

Novel rodent models for macular research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Many disabling human retinal disorders involve the central retina, particularly the macula. However, the commonly used rodent models in research, mouse and rat, do not possess a macula.

Recent developments of neuroprotective agents for degenerative retinal disorders

open access: yesNeural 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 ...

Biological effects of cigarette smoke in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The goal of the present study was to determine whether treatment with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induces cell loss, cellular senescence, and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis in primary human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Primary cultured
