Internal limiting basement membrane inhibits functional engraftment of transplanted human retinal ganglion cells

This study shows that disrupting the internal limiting membrane enhances the survival and functional integration of transplanted human retinal ganglion cells in the retina.

Computational aberration-corrected volumetric imaging of single retinal cells in the living eye

This paper introduces PI-SLO, a 3D imaging technique for volumetric single-cell imaging in living mouse retinas, enabling studies of microglial dynamics, vascular perfusion, and calcium fluxes.

Photodisruption of the inner limiting membrane promotes retinal engraftment of stem-cell derived retinal ganglion cells

This study shows that photodisrupting the inner limiting membrane improves the engraftment of stem-cell derived retinal ganglion cells in retinal explants.

Compact refractive dual-channel AOSLO for wide-field imaging in mice reveals microglial interactions with transplanted neurons

This paper introduces a compact refractive AOSLO system for wide-field retinal imaging in mice, revealing microglial interactions with transplanted neurons and immune responses.

Regional Gene Expression in the Retina, Optic Nerve Head, and Optic Nerve of Mice with Experimental Glaucoma and Optic Nerve Crush

The paper examines regional gene expression differences in the retina, optic nerve head, and optic nerve of mice with glaucoma and optic nerve crush using bulk RNA-sequencing.

Structural engraftment and topographic spacing of transplanted human stem cell-derived retinal ganglion cells

This study investigates how transplanted human stem cell-derived retinal ganglion cells integrate into the host retina and identifies the internal limiting membrane as a barrier to structural integration.
