Smart Nanotechnologies for Multimodal Neuromodulation and Brain Interfacing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Recent advances in smart nanotechnologies are expanding the toolbox for brain interfacing, from wireless neuromodulation and high‐resolution sensing to targeted delivery within the central nervous system. By combining responsive nanomaterials with bioinspired design, these platforms enable multimodal interactions with neurons and glia, while also ...

Retinal degenerative diseases: role of dietary supplements in retinal health

Discover Food
Retinal degeneration is a progressive condition that affects the retina, the light-sensitive layer, and deteriorates the inner retinal cells that encompass retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors, and ganglion cells that are essential for eyesight ...

Early Retinal UCHL1 Dysregulation Coupled With Synaptic Loss Reflects Alzheimer's Disease Severity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies synapse‐enriched deubiquitinase UCHL1 as an early Aβ‐responsive regulator of retinal synaptopathy in Alzheimer's disease. Retinal UCHL1 loss accompanies excitatory synapse degeneration, p75NTR activation, and neuroinflammation, and predicts Braak stage and cognitive decline. Aβ42 fibrils trigger synaptic and UCHL1 depletion before

Microglia activation in retinal degeneration [PDF]

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2007
AbstractMicroglia cells are phagocytic sentinels in the CNS and in the retina required for neuronal homeostasis and innate immune defense. Accumulating experimental evidence suggests that chronic microglia activation is associated with various neurodegenerative diseases including retinal dystrophies. Endogenous triggers alert microglia cells rapidly in

Large‐scale Whole‐Exome Sequencing Defines the Protein‐Coding Architecture of Retinal Structure, Visual Function, and Major Blinding Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Large‐scale whole‐exome sequencing in 356,982 UK Biobank participants defines the protein‐coding architecture of retinal structure, visual function, and major blinding diseases. Pleiotropic genes, including CFI, C3, and RIOX1, bridge multiple retinal phenotypes, while experimental validation of FYB2 implicates RPE barrier dysfunction, providing ...

Protection of retina by αB crystallin in sodium iodate induced retinal degeneration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in the developed world. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a critical site of pathology in AMD and αB crystallin expression is increased in RPE and associated drusen in AMD.

A Rare De Novo Missense Mutation in IFT122 Confers a Genetic Susceptibility Factor of Idiopathic Pediatric Uveitis Via Trio‐based Whole‐Exome Sequencing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rare de novo IFT122‐A773E variant is identified in idiopathic pediatric uveitis and shown to exacerbate retinal inflammation and barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, the variant enhances IFT43 interaction, elevates calcium signaling, and activates the MEK/ERK/FRA1 axis, revealing a previously unrecognized cilia‐associated pathway that may increase ...

TREM2-dependent activation of microglial cell protects photoreceptor cell during retinal degeneration via PPARγ and CD36

Cell Death and Disease
Retinal degeneration is a collection of devastating conditions with progressive loss of vision which often lead to blindness. Research on retinal microglial cells offers great therapeutic potential in deterring the progression of degeneration. This study
