Molecular Hydrogen and Redox Signaling in Ocular Neuroprotection

Molecular Hydrogen and Redox Signaling in Ocular Neuroprotection

Introduction Eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration share a common culprit: oxidative stress from harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excess ROS can damage DNA, lipids and proteins in the ret...

Taurine and Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival Across the Lifespan

Taurine and Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival Across the Lifespan

Introduction Taurine is a nutrient-rich amino sulfonic acid found in high concentrations in the retina and other neural tissues. In fact, taurine levels in the retina are higher than in any other body tissue, and its depletion causes retinal ...

Creatine and Energy Buffering in Retinal and Optic Nerve Tissues

Creatine and Energy Buffering in Retinal and Optic Nerve Tissues

Introduction Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the neurons that send visual signals from the eye to the brain. They rely on a high-energy metabolism because they must maintain electrical signals over long distances. In glaucoma and related opti...
