L-DOPA treatment promotes sustained neurovascular and synaptichomeostasis in the diabetic retina

This study shows L-DOPA treatment sustains neurovascular and synaptic function in diabetic retinas, with effects lasting after treatment ends.

Effects of treadmill exercise on retinal vascular morphology, function, and circulating immune factors in a mouse model of retinal degeneration

This study examines how treadmill exercise affects retinal vascular morphology, function, and immune factors in a mouse model of retinal degeneration, finding improved vascular health and immune response profiles in exercised mice.

Forced exercise modulates retinal inflammatory response and regulates miRNA expression to promote retinal neuroprotection during degeneration

This study shows treadmill exercise reduces inflammation and alters miRNA expression in a light-induced retinal degeneration model, preserving retinal function and photoreceptor density.

Treadmill exercise promotes retinal astrocyte plasticity and protects against retinal degeneration

This paper shows treadmill exercise increases retinal astrocyte complexity and BDNF interactions, protecting against light-induced retinal degeneration.

Developmental Circadian Disruption Alters Placental Signaling in Mice

This study shows that developmental circadian disruption in mice alters placental gene expression and immune cell markers, potentially increasing adult chronic disease risk.
