Glaucoma is a complex and multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, leading to irreversible visual ...

During development, there are known sex-related differences in how microglia function. But into adulthood, there was thought to be less variation in how they behave. Microglia maintain neuronal ...

Microglia, the brain's immune cells, exhibit altered gene expression and a weakened immune response as they age, potentially contributing to neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Missense mutations that derail SORL1 trafficking cause AD. Other variants shift AD risk in East Asians and Europeans. SORL1 dysfunction messes with endosomes in neurons, and with lysosomes in ...

Some are available for use now, while others are in different phases of clinical research. Dry AMD, also known as non-neovascular AMD, is characterized by the gradual breakdown of cells in a small but ...

A new study has identified a set of 29 vascular health indicators on the retina, making a “fingerprint” that can help predict a person’s stroke risk. Researchers believe this method provides ...

Jan. 16, 2025 — Studies have shown a persistent gender gap when it comes to wages -- disparities that stretch over decades. Past analyses have pointed to various causes for this discrepancy, but ...

Microglia, the brain's primary and most prominent immune cells, act as 'first responders' when something goes awry in the brain, and they play a key role in regulating brain function in all phases ...

Methodological quality was evaluated using SYRCLE’s bias risk tool, with statistical analysis performed using Stata 17.0. The primary outcome measures included the survival of retinal ganglion cells ...

Dr. Frenkel highlights a comprehensive program that covers the latest breakthroughs in glaucoma and cataract surgery to in-depth discussions on AI, retinal treatments, and new drug-delivery platforms, ...
