R-28 cell-derived extracellular vesicles protect retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma

Neural Regeneration Research
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.

On the Generation and Regeneration of Retinal Ganglion Cells [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Retinal development follows a conserved neurogenic program in vertebrates to orchestrate the generation of specific cell types from multipotent progenitors in sequential but overlapping waves. In this program, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the first cell type generated.

Spatially and Temporally Regulated NRF2 Gene Therapy Using Mcp-1 Promoter in Retinal Ganglion Cell Injury

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2017
Retinal ganglion cell degeneration triggered by axonal injury is believed to underlie many ocular diseases, including glaucoma and optic neuritis. In these diseases, retinal ganglion cells are affected unevenly, both spatially and temporally, such that ...

Encoding surprise by retinal ganglion cells

PLOS Computational Biology, 2022
The efficient coding hypothesis posits that early sensory neurons transmit maximal information about sensory stimuli, given internal constraints. A central prediction of this theory is that neurons should preferentially encode stimuli that are most surprising.

Damage and repair in retinal degenerative diseases: Molecular basis through clinical translation

Neural Regeneration Research
Retinal ganglion cells are the bridging neurons between the eye and the central nervous system, transmitting visual signals to the brain. The injury and loss of retinal ganglion cells are the primary pathological changes in several retinal degenerative ...

Digestion of the glycosaminoglycan extracellular matrix by chondroitinase ABC supports retinal ganglion cell dendritic preservation in a rodent model of experimental glaucoma

Molecular Brain, 2018
Retinal ganglion cell dendritic atrophy is an early feature of glaucoma, and the recovery of retinal ganglion cell dendrites is a viable option for vision improvement in glaucoma.

Comparison of AAV-Mediated Optogenetic Vision Restoration between Retinal Ganglion Cell Expression and ON Bipolar Cell Targeting

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
The loss of photoreceptors in individuals with retinal degenerative diseases leads to partial or complete blindness. Optogenetic therapy is a promising approach for restoring vision to the blind.

Retinal Processing: Insights from Mathematical Modelling

Journal of Imaging, 2022
The retina is the entrance of the visual system. Although based on common biophysical principles, the dynamics of retinal neurons are quite different from their cortical counterparts, raising interesting problems for modellers.

PANoptosis of Retinal Ganglion Cells

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience
PANoptosis represents a novel form of programmed cell death regulated and controlled by the PANoptosome. It encompasses the essential features of apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis and combines elements from each process. PANoptosis contributes to the development of various diseases, including bacterial and viral infections, tumors, inflammatory ...

c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 expression in the retina of ocular hypertension mice: a possible target to reduce ganglion cell apoptosis

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Glaucoma, a type of optic neuropathy, is characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells. It remains controversial whether c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) participates in the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma. This study sought to explore
