Project Details
Description
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and affects more than 60 million
people. The disease is characterized by the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which are the
neurons that relay visual information from the retina to the brain. This proposal investigates whether a
receptor protein called sigma-1 receptor (S1R) can protect RGCs from damage in an experimental
model of glaucoma.
