σ2R/TMEM97 in Retinal Ganglion Cell Degeneration

Scientific Reports, 2022
Abstract The sigma 2 receptor (σ2R) was recently identified as an ER (endoplasmic reticulum) membrane protein known as transmembrane protein 97 (TMEM97). Studies have shown that compounds that bind to σ2R/TMEM97 are neuroprotective, suggesting that σ2R/TMEM97 is involved in pathways leading to neurodegeneration.

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of the retina under acute high intraocular pressure

Neural Regeneration Research
High intraocular pressure causes retinal ganglion cell injury in primary and secondary glaucoma diseases, yet the molecular landscape characteristics of retinal cells under high intraocular pressure remain unknown. Rat models of acute hypertension ocular

Tbr1 instructs laminar patterning of retinal ganglion cell dendrites. [PDF]

, 2018
Visual information is delivered to the brain by >40 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Diversity in this representation arises within the inner plexiform layer (IPL), where dendrites of each RGC type are restricted to specific sublaminae ...

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Melanopsin ganglion cells are the most resistant retinal ganglion cell type to axonal injury in the rat retina.

PLoS ONE, 2014
We report that the most common retinal ganglion cell type that remains after optic nerve transection is the M1 melanopsin ganglion cell. M1 ganglion cells are members of the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell population that mediates non ...

Ganglion cell and displaced amacrine cell density distribution in the retina of the howler monkey (Alouatta caraya). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Unlike all other New World (platyrrine) monkeys, both male and female howler monkeys (Alouatta sp.) are obligatory trichromats. In all other platyrrines, only females can be trichromats, while males are always dichromats, as determined by multiple ...

Retinal ganglion cells: dying to survive

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2006
This review examines the maturation of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) population within the nascent retina. Apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death prevalent throughout the developing central nervous system (CNS), is evident in the growth of RGCs within the ganglion cell layer.

Atoh7 promotes retinal Müller cell differentiation into retinal ganglion cells [PDF]

Cytotechnology, 2014
Glaucoma is one of the leading eye diseases due to the death of retinal ganglion cells. Increasing evidence suggests that retinal Müller cells exhibit the characteristics of retinal progenitor cells and can differentiate to neurons in injured retinas under certain conditions.

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 ...
