Summary
This paper discusses the susceptibility of different Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) subtypes to glaucomatous injury, using transgenic animals and glaucoma models, and explores the potential for degeneration and regeneration in the central nervous system.
Categories
Eye health: The paper focuses on the study of glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, and the susceptibility of different Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) subtypes to glaucomatous injury.
Aging: The paper discusses glaucoma as an age-related eye disease, with the risk of developing the condition increasing with age.
