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.

Axolotls can regenerate optic nerves, retinas, and parts of their brain. Provost's Undergraduate Research Award-winner Ted ...

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 ...

For years, UT Southwestern researcher Kevin Park has been working toward what he has described as the “holy grail” of regenerative vision science: a fully functional eye transplant that restores ...

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 ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...
