Excerpt:

IntroductionVision loss from optic nerve injury or glaucoma happens because retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) fail to regrow their axons. In adult mammals, the intrinsic growth program of RGCs is normally shut off, so damaged nerves do not heal on their own (). Recent mouse studies show that gene therapy can reactivate these growth pathways. For…
