    Age-related visual impairments and retinal ganglion cells axonal degeneration in a mouse model harboring OPTN (E50K) mutation

    Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) axons are the signal carriers of visual information between retina and brain. Therefore, they play one of the important roles affected in many optic neurodegenerative diseases lik...

    Neuroprotective effects of bone marrow Sca-1+ cells against age-related retinal degeneration in OPTN E50K mice

    Glaucoma is characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, the underlying mechanisms of which are still largely unknown. An E50K mutation in the Optineurin (OPTN) gene is a leading cause of normal-tension...

    The E50K optineurin mutation impacts autophagy-mediated degradation of TDP-43 and leads to RGC apoptosis in vivo and in vitro

    The glaucoma-associated E50K mutation in optineurin (OPTN) is known to affect autophagy and cause the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), but the pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we...
