Identifying factors that regulate directional growth of regenerating RGC axons to their targets will provide invaluable information on developing future therapies to repair degenerated optic nerve following glaucoma.

Not exact matches

They found that the mice can develop damage to the optic nerve despite normal pressure in the eye following KPro surgery and identified TNFa and IL - 1 as inflammatory factors involved in this process, with high levels of TNFa mediating the damage to the optic nerve.

Researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear / Harvard Medical School have identified inflammatory factors that cause optic neuropathy in the back of the eye following implantation of a keratoprosthesis (KPro)-- similar to what glaucoma patients experience, without the rise of pressure in the eye — and have shown that blocking one of those factors, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), successfully halts the development of optic nerve damage in a mouse model.

Studies have found beta - amyloid in tissue following traumatic brain injury and as evidence of optic nerve damage in shaken - baby syndrome.

We observed YFP - labeled processes exiting the induced eye at the optic nerve head that followed the expected trajectory of RGC axons to their tectal targets (Figure 4E).

Ultimately, our research will help elucidate factors that prevent proper optic nerve regeneration and guidance, and to find strategies that promote reconnection of damaged optic nerves and restore visual functions following optic nerve damage.

Glaucoma is a common condition in which the fluid pressure inside your pet's eye increases, resulting in damage to the optic nerve, followed by loss of vision and blindness.
