Nano-Biomaterials for Retinal Regeneration [PDF]
Nanoscience and nanotechnology have revolutionized key areas of environmental sciences, including biological and physical sciences. Nanoscience is useful in interconnecting these sciences to find new hybrid avenues targeted at improving daily life.

The goal of research on neural regeneration is to restore brain function following injury. To many, this suggests regrowing damaged axons and re-establishing the interrupted pathways. A second, but little studied aspect of brain regeneration, is the replacement of lost neurons.

The Retinal Homeobox (Rx) Gene Is Necessary for Retinal Regeneration
The Retinal Homeobox (Rx) gene is essential for vertebrate eye development. Rx function is required for the specification and maintenance of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs). Loss of Rx function leads to a lack of eye development in a variety of species. Here we show that Rx function is also necessary during retinal regeneration. We performed a thorough

Activated retinal glia mediated axon regeneration in experimental glaucoma
Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cell axons in the optic nerve and their cell bodies in the retina.

Summary: ESC/iPSC-retinal sheet transplantation, which supplies photoreceptors as well as other retinal cells, has been shown to be able to restore visual function in mice with end-stage retinal degeneration.

Retinal regeneration in birds and mice [PDF]
Retinal regeneration from resident Müller glia cells is robust in teleost fish, but is severely limited in birds and mammals. After neurotoxic injury, chick Müller glia can proliferate, and activate neurogenic genes, but they display limited capacity to differentiate into neurons. Developmental signaling molecules enhance this process.
