    • Activation of NRF2 Pathways in Glaucoma 
      Naguib, Sarah Aymen; 0000-0001-6645-6412 (2022-03-25)
      Department: Neuroscience
      Glaucoma results from progressive degeneration and eventual death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Neuroprotective agents are needed to protect RGCs because the ...
    • Astrocyte Metabolic Networks in Neurodegeneration 
      Cooper, Melissa Leigh (2019-06-13)
      Department: Neuroscience
      Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy (glaucoma) challenges retinal ganglion cell axons through sensitivity to intraocular pressure (IOP). Axons rely upon astrocyte energy stores (glycogen) to combat neurodegenerative stress. We ...
    • The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-1 Channel in Stress-Induced Astrocyte Migration 
      Ho, Karen W. (2014-10-15)
      Department: Pharmacology
      Astrocytes are one type of glia in the central nervous system, and they provide metabolic and structural support to neurons. Following injury astrocytes undergo an injury stress response known as reactive gliosis. Gliosis ...
