Retinal regeneration [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Neurosciences, 1992
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

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2011
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

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2012
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.

Genetically engineered stem cell-derived retinal grafts for improved retinal reconstruction after transplantation

open access: yesiScience, 2021
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.

Human iPS cell derived RPE strips for secure delivery of graft cells at a target place with minimal surgical invasion

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Several clinical studies have been conducted into the practicality and safety of regenerative therapy using hESC/iPSC-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a treatment for the diseases including age-related macular degeneration.

Retinal regeneration in birds and mice [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016
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.

Microglia dynamics in retinitis pigmentosa model: formation of fundus whitening and autofluorescence as an indicator of activity of retinal degeneration

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
In patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), color fundus photography and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) have been used to estimate the disease progression.

A Genetic modification that reduces ON-bipolar cells in hESC-derived retinas enhances functional integration after transplantation

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived retinal sheet transplanted in vivo can form structured photoreceptor layers, contact with host bipolar cells, and transmit light signals to host retinas.

COCO enhances the efficiency of photoreceptor precursor differentiation in early human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal organoids

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020
Background Significant progress has been made in cell replacement therapy for neural retinal diseases using retinal cells differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells.
