The neuroimmune interface in retinal regeneration [PDF]
Retinal neurodegeneration leads to irreversible blindness due to the mammalian nervous system's inability to regenerate lost neurons. Efforts to regenerate retina involve two main strategies: stimulating endogenous cells to reprogram into neurons or transplanting stem-cell derived neurons into the degenerated retina.

Nanotherapy for Neural Retinal Regeneration [PDF]
Abstract Retinal diseases can severely impair vision and even lead to blindness, posing significant threats to both physical and mental health. Physical retinal regenerative therapies are poised to revolutionize the treatment of various disorders associated with blindness. However, these therapies must overcome the challenges posed by

Inhibition of the TGFβ Pathway Enhances Retinal Regeneration in Adult Zebrafish. [PDF]
In contrast to the mammalian retina, the zebrafish retina exhibits the potential for lifelong retinal neurogenesis and regeneration even after severe damage. Previous studies have shown that the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling pathway is

Recapitulating developmental mechanisms for retinal regeneration [PDF]
Degeneration of specific retinal neurons in diseases like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Currently, there is no therapy to modify the disease-associated degenerative changes.

Retinal regeneration requires dynamic Notch signaling [PDF]
Retinal damage in the adult zebrafish induces Müller glia reprogramming to produce neuronal progenitor cells that proliferate and differentiate into retinal neurons. Notch signaling, which is a fundamental mechanism known to drive cell-cell communication, is required to maintain Müller glia in a quiescent state in the undamaged retina, and repression ...

Live-cell imaging: new avenues to investigate retinal regeneration [PDF]
Sensing and responding to our environment requires functional neurons that act in concert. Neuronal cell loss resulting from degenerative diseases cannot be replaced in humans, causing a functional impairment to integrate and/or respond to sensory cues ...

A transcriptome for the study of early processes of retinal regeneration in the adult newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster. [PDF]
Retinal regeneration in the adult newt is a useful system to uncover essential mechanisms underlying the regeneration of body parts of this animal as well as to find clues to treat retinal disorders such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Leveraging Zebrafish to Study Retinal Degenerations [PDF]
Retinal degenerations are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by death of photoreceptors and progressive loss of vision. Retinal degenerations are a major cause of blindness in developed countries (Bourne et al., 2017; De Bode, 2017) and ...
