661W is a retinal ganglion precursor-like cell line in which glaucoma-associated optineurin mutants induce cell death selectively

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
A photoreceptor cell line, 661W, derived from a mouse retinal tumor that expresses several markers of cone photoreceptor cells has been described earlier. However, these cells can be differentiated into neuronal cells. Here, we report that this cell line

Towards a Compositional Framework for Describing Human Phenotypes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The Phenotype Assembly Method (PhenoAM) decomposes phenotype variables into measurable Features and typed Qualifiers, enabling standardized, machine‐readable Phenome Data Elements (PhenoDEs) that preserve measurement context. Applied in the International Human Phenome Project (IHPP), the framework yields 58 371 PhenoDEs and supports component‐level ...

Cell based therapies for glaucoma

open access: yesAdvances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation, 2016
Stem cells could be useful in the treatment of glaucoma by improving aqueous outflow to lower eye pressure, by protecting retinal ganglion cells directly against glaucoma damage or by facilitating optic nerve regeneration.

Retinal Ganglion Cell Loss in Diabetes Associated with Elevated Homocysteine

open access: yes, 2009
A number of studies have suggested that homocysteine may be a contributing factor to development of retinopathy in diabetic patients based on observed correlations between elevated homocysteine levels and the presence of retinopathy.

Gene expression analysis during retinal ganglion cell development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Retinal ganglion cells are the final output neurons that gather electrical signals from light-sensing cells and relay this information to discrete locations in the brain. The loss of ganglion cells due to cell death is an irreversible process in glaucoma.

In Situ Photo‑Crosslinked Functional Bilayer Hydrogel Modulates Local Microenvironment and Remyelination After Optic Nerve Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A blue‐light‐crosslinked bilayer hydrogel was developed for local optic nerve repair. The adhesive GM‐Odex outer layer seals and anchors the lesion, while the non‐adhesive GM‐imid inner layer releases MPDA‐Cle without obstructing CSF flow. This system modulates oxidative and inflammatory microenvironments, supports oligodendrocyte differentiation and ...

Molecular Biology of Retinal Ganglion Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 2020
The main goal of this thematic issue was to bring both original research papers and reviews together to provide an insight into the rather broad topic of molecular biology of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) [...]

Modulation of Presynaptic Inhibitory Retinal Circuits for Retinal Ganglion Cell Neuroprotection in Glaucoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ocular hypertension induces early hyperactivity in inner retinal inhibitory circuitry before substantial retinal ganglion cell loss. Sustained pharmacological inhibition of GABAergic/glycinergic neurotransmission and Vgat‐targeted Lin28 expression suppress this hyperactivity and improve RGC survival without reducing intraocular pressure. These findings

Brimonidine prevents axonal and somatic degeneration of retinal ganglion cell neurons

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2011
Background Brimonidine is a common drug for lowering ocular pressure and may directly protect retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma. The disease involves early loss of retinal ganglion cell transport to brain targets followed by axonal and somatic ...
