Glaucoma 2.0: neuroprotection, neuroregeneration, neuroenhancement.
Glaucoma is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) associated with characteristic axon degeneration in the optic nerve. Clinically, our only method of slowing glaucomatous loss of vision is to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), but lowering IOP is only partially effective and does not address the underlying susceptibility of RGCs to degeneration. We review the ...
متن کاملNucleotides in neuroregeneration and neuroprotection
Brain injury generates the release of a multitude of factors including extracellular nucleotides, which exhibit bi-functional properties and contribute to both detrimental actions in the acute phase and also protective and reparative actions in the later recovery phase to allow neuroregeneration. A promising strategy toward restoration of neuronal function is based on activation of endogenous a...

متن کاملEndogenous Mechanisms of Neuroprotection and Neuroregeneration
481 Fom the point of view of oligodendrocyte and demyelinated axon interaction, glial scars of reactive astrocytes obstruct to myelinating oligodendrocytes the access to naked axons. On the other hand, astrocytes also produce neurotrophic factors that promote remyelination. An alternative strategy that CNS cells have to avoid axonal damage, when remyelination is not efficient, consists in that ...
متن کاملPredegenerated Schwann cells–a novel prospect for cell therapy for glaucoma: neuroprotection, neuroregeneration and neuroplasticity
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that leads to irreversible blindness. Because the current therapies are not sufficient to protect against glaucoma-induced visual impairment, new treatment approaches are necessary to prevent disease progression. Cell transplantation techniques are currently considered to be among the most promising opportunities for nervous system damage treatment. The beneficia...
