Hyperactivity of ON-type retinal ganglion cells in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. [PDF]
Impairment of visual function has been detected in the early stage of diabetes but the underlying neural mechanisms involved are largely unknown.

Decellularised extracellular matrix-derived peptides from neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium enhance the expression of synaptic markers and light responsiveness of human pluripotent stem cell derived retinal organoids [PDF]
Tissue specific extracellular matrices (ECM) provide structural support and enable access to molecular signals and metabolites, which are essential for directing stem cell renewal and differentiation.

Cell transplantation to replace retinal ganglion cells faces challenges – the Switchboard Dilemma
The mammalian retina displays incomplete intrinsic regenerative capacities; therefore, retina degeneration is a major cause of irreversible blindness such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Retinal ganglion cells are susceptible to neurodegenerative conditions and their death drives common forms of irreversible vision loss. In mice, there are 46 transcriptionally unique retinal ganglion cell types that demonstrate different susceptibilities

Advances in retinal ganglion cell imaging [PDF]
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide and will affect 79.6 million people worldwide by 2020. It is caused by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), predominantly via apoptosis, within the retinal nerve fibre layer and the corresponding loss of axons of the optic nerve head.

R-28 cell-derived extracellular vesicles protect retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma
Glaucoma is characterized by chronic progressive optic nerve damage and retinal ganglion cell death. Although extensive research has been conducted on neuroprotection for retinal ganglion cells, there is still no treatment for clinical use.

Permissive role for mGlu1 metabotropic glutamate receptors in excitotoxic retinal degeneration [PDF]
Neuroprotection is an unmet need in eye disorders characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, such as prematurity-induced retinal degeneration, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.
