Differential Survival of Retinal Ganglion Cell Types Following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Saman Behboodi Tanourlouee, Chao Ren, Andrea C. Santeford, Sean McCracken, Minglei Zhao, Chengzhi Zhao, Rajendra S. Apte, Chao Zhou, Philip Raymond Williams

In a mouse branch retinal vein occlusion model, retinal ganglion cells die progressively over 14 days. α-RGCs and F-RGCs are lost fastest, and TBR2-positive intrinsically photosensitive RGCs survive best.

Label free, capillary-scale blood flow mapping in vivo reveals that low intensity focused ultrasound evokes persistent dilation in cortical microvasculature

YuBing Y. Shen, Jyoti V. Jethe, Ashlan P. Reid, Jacob Hehir, Marcello Magri Amaral, Chao Ren, Senyue Hao, Chao Zhou, Jonathan A. N. Fisher

This study uses an in vivo optical approach to show that low intensity focused ultrasound causes persistent microvascular dilation without microbubbles, suggesting vascular mechanisms may contribute to long-term neuromodulatory effects.
