Survival of Alpha and Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells in NMDA-Induced Neurotoxicity and a Mouse Model of Normal Tension Glaucoma.

These results suggest that αRGC and ipRGC are highly tolerant to NMDA-induced neurotoxicity and NTG-like neurodegeneration in GLAST KO mice.

Topical Ripasudil Suppresses Retinal Ganglion Cell Death in a Mouse Model of Normal Tension Glaucoma.

These results suggest that, in addition to IOP reduction, ripasudil prevents glaucomatous retinal degeneration by neuroprotection, which is achieved by suppressing cell-death signaling pathways.

Spermidine Ameliorates Neurodegeneration in a Mouse Model of Normal Tension Glaucoma.

The results from this study suggest that oral spermidine administration could be a useful treatment for retinal degenerative disorders including glaucoma.
