Apoptosis at the optic fissure shapes transient retinal myeloid states

Nathaniel Ghena, Wesley S. Warner, Yesica Landaverde Rodriguez, Joon Schwakopf, Jacqueline M. Roberts, Monica L. Vetter

The paper identifies the optic fissure as the entry site for myeloid cells into the embryonic mouse retina, showing that apoptosis and CD206 expression are linked to transient myeloid states during development.

Klf4 overexpression remodels chromatin to reprogram late retinal progenitors toward an retinal ganglion cell-like fate

Viviane M. Oliveira-Valença, Jacqueline M. Roberts, Fei Chang, Alejandra Bosco, Monica L. Vetter, Mariana S. Silveira

This study shows Klf4 overexpression reprograms late retinal progenitor cells to adopt a retinal ganglion cell-like identity through transcriptional and epigenetic changes.

Pou4f2/Brn3b Overexpression Promotes The Genesis Of Retinal Ganglion Cell-Like Projection Neurons From Late Progenitors

Viviane M. Oliveira-Valença, Jacqueline M. Roberts, Vitória Melo Fernandes-Cerqueira, Carolina Herkenhoff Colmerauer, Beatriz Cardoso de Toledo, Pedro L. Santos-França, Rafael Linden, Rodrigo A. P. Martins, Maurício Rocha-Martins, Alejandra Bosco, Monica L. Vetter, Mariana S. Silveira

This study shows that overexpressing Pou4f2 in late retinal progenitors generates RGC-like neurons with axonal projections to brain regions.

CD11c-expressing microglia are transient, driven by interactions with apoptotic cells

Nathaniel Ghena, Sarah Anderson, Jacqueline M. Roberts, Emmalyn Irvin, Joon Schwakopf, Alejandra Bosco, Monica L. Vetter

The paper identifies CD11c-expressing microglia as a transient state in the developing retina driven by interactions with apoptotic cells, not a specialized subset for phagocytic clearance.

Neuronal apoptosis drives remodeling states of microglia and shifts in survival pathway dependence

Sarah R Anderson, Jacqueline M. Roberts, Nate Ghena, Emmalyn Irvin, Joon Schwakopf, Isabelle B. Cooperstein, Alejandra Bosco, Monica L Vetter

The paper investigates how interactions with apoptotic neurons influence microglial states and survival pathway dependence using scRNAseq in mouse retina.
