Photoreceptor-derived FGF2 mediates a protective stress response without driving pathological retinal neovascularization in ischemic retinopathy

Zhifei Wu, Lulu Peng, Jiechun Wu, Huirong Xu, Yaling Liu, Dingqiao Wang, Lan Wang, Xingyu Wang, Guoming Zhang, Peng Wang, Wei DU

This study identifies rod photoreceptors as a source of FGF2 during ischemic retinopathy, showing it promotes photoreceptor survival without driving pathological neovascularization.

Simultaneous cyclin D1 overexpression and p27kip1 knockdown enable robust Müller glia cell cycle reactivation in uninjured mouse retina

Zhifei Wu, Baoshan Liao, Julia Ying, Jan Keung, Zongli Zheng, Virpi Ahola, Wenjun Xiong

This study shows that overexpressing cyclin D1 and knocking down p27kip1 in mouse Müller glia using AAV enables controlled cell cycle reactivation without uncontrolled proliferation.
