Taurine Depletion Causes ipRGC Loss and Increases Light-Induced Photoreceptor Degeneration.

Our results document that taurine is necessary for cell survival in the rat retina and even more under light-induced photoreceptor degeneration.

Age and intraocular pressure in murine experimental glaucoma.

We also evaluate how age modulates the impact of elevated IOP on RGC somal and axonal density in histological analysis as well the density of melanopsin RGCs.

Longitudinal In Vivo Changes in Retinal Ganglion Cell Dendritic Morphology After Acute and Chronic Optic Nerve Injury.

Rapid dendritic changes occurred after ONT, while changes in EG were slower and associated with level of IOP increase. The earliest alterations were loss of inner neurites without change in dendritic field.
