This study identifies Muller glial cells as sensitive to diabetes and shows that Zfp36 expression in these cells can protect against diabetic retinopathy.

The paper shows that Mettl14-mediated m6A modification is critical for cell cycle progression of late-born retinal progenitor cells, preventing cell cycle arrest and neuronal death.

The paper introduces iGWAS, a method using self-supervised deep learning to extract phenotypes from medical images for GWAS, finding new genetic loci related to retinal vessel development.
