This paper develops ROS-scavenging microparticles for sustained EPO release to treat glaucoma neurodegeneration, showing neuron preservation in animal models.

This paper shows that rhodopsin's light protection mechanism evolved to sequester toxic retinal and protect retinal cells, with implications for human disease.

This study develops a rat model of traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) through rapid eye rotation, showing visual deficits and biomarker changes, suggesting its utility for TON research and early diagnosis.

This paper introduces an open-source MXene-based EEG system for chronic rodent recordings, showing it avoids skull surgery and detects mTBI effects on brain activity.

This study shows that Shh signaling regulates stellate cell pool size in the cerebellum, which is critical for dendritic inhibition and motor learning.
