Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) play a crucial role in the visual pathway. As their axons form
the optic nerve, apoptosis of these cells causes neurodegenerative vision loss. RGC death …

Glutamate neurotransmission and metabolism are finely modulated by the retinal network,
where the efficient processing of visual information is shaped by the differential distribution …

In the last years, neuroprotective therapies have attracted the researcher interests as
modern and challenging approach for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, aimed …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are neurons of the visual system that are responsible for
transmitting signals from the retina to the brain via the optic nerve. Glaucoma is an optic …

The benefits of physical exercise on health and well‐being have been studied in a wide
range of systemic and ocular diseases, including glaucoma, a progressive optic neuropathy …

Background: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration is a major feature of glaucoma
pathology. Neuroprotective approaches that delay or halt the progression of RGC loss are …

Purpose To examine the association of physical activity (PA) with glaucoma and related
traits, to assess whether genetic predisposition to glaucoma modified these associations …

Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in the world, can be challenging to diagnose
because symptoms often appear at late stage of the disease, and challenging to treat …

An imbalance of homeostasis in the retina leads to neuron loss and this eventually results in
a deterioration of vision. If the stress threshold is exceeded, different protective/survival …

Introduction: Neuroprotective therapeutics are needed to treat glaucoma, an optic
neuropathy that results in death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Areas covered: The …
