RIP1 Inhibition Protects Retinal Ganglion Cells in Preclinical Glaucoma Models
In this webinar, Bo Kyoung Kim, PhD discusses RIP1 kinase's role in glaucoma and its potential as a therapeutic target to preserve vision.
Aging and Injured Retinal Ganglion Cells can be Rejuvenated by Epigenetic Reprogramming
In this webinar, Bruce Ksander, PhD discusses reversing aging through epigenetic reprogramming to restore tissue function and improve visual physiology.
The Impact of Lateral Inhibition on Healthy Vision and Retinal Degeneration
Matteo Rizzi, PhD shows data obtained with a range of techniques and particularly with Optomotor behavior, which demonstrates the impact that lateral inhibition in the retina has on normal visual function as well as retinal degeneration.
Visual Function with Aging in Normal and Alzheimer’s Disease Model Mice
In this presentation, Anna Matynia, PhD explains the effect of normal aging and Alzheimer’s Disease on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and pupillary light reflex as a possible early biomarker for Alzheimer’s Disease.
Developing a Novel Gene Therapy for Kcnv2 Retinopathy
Livia Carvalho, PhD discusses her team's successful development of a novel AAV-based gene therapy approach for KCNV2 retinopathy in a Kv8.2 knockout mouse model.
Talking Real Science with Michelle Wong
This episode of Share Science features Michelle Wong, a recipient of one of the $5000 Scientist.com STEM Research NIL Scholarships. In this interview, we discuss her current research, her experience growing up nearly blind, and how an experimental technology helped her regain her vision.
Endothelial Caspase-9 Mediates Inflammatory and Vision Function Changes in Retinal Vascular Injury
Crystal Colón Ortiz, PhD, from the Columbia University Medical Center discusses the inflammatory role of endothelial caspase-9 in neurovascular injury and its contribution to vision changes.
Anti-FcRn Treatment in Antibody-Associated Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
Jana Remlinger, MSc, discusses her recent research into a novel therapeutic approach for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disorder (MOGAD).
IR Photorefraction and IR Photokeratometry – Measuring Refractive State and Corneal Curvature in Animals and Humans
Prof. Frank Schaeffel discusses the optical principles, image processing algorithms, calibration, and potential pitfalls within IR photorefraction and IR photokeratometry.
Echolocation with Light: A New Form of Active Sensing in Fish?
Prof. Nico K. Michiels discusses how weak light reflections, during active photolocation, in the pupils of predator and prey species can be strong enough to be perceptible by the initial light sender.
