Although mammalian retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) normally cannot regenerate axons nor survive after optic nerve injury, this failure is partially reversed by inducing sterile inflammation in the eye.

Traumatic injury to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve in the central nervous system (CNS) are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. CNS injuries often ...

Connecting pieces of information by finding a common thread often takes glaucoma researchers in unexpected directions. Zinc is one such thread that joined together different experts at Boston Children ...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness due to optic nerve damage and the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Presently, reducing intraocular pressure is the sole evidence-based ...

Regenerative failure in the mammalian optic nerve is generally attributed to axotomy-induced retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, an insufficient intrinsic regenerative capacity, and an extrinsic ...

A San Diego team is part of a major undertaking that will bring together more than 40 scientists, doctors, and industry experts hand-picked from around the country to make vision-restoring whole eye ...
