Electrically-evoked responses for retinal prostheses are differentially altered depending on ganglion cell types in outer retinal neurodegeneration caused by Crb1 gene mutation

Hyeonhee Roh et al.

Summary: This study investigates the electric response features of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in rd8 mice with retinal degeneration caused by Crb1 mutation. The results show that different types of RGCs have different electric response features in the early stage of RP, suggesting the importance of genotype- and RGC type-dependent analyses for retinal prosthetic research.

Cytotoxic Activity of Gambier Leave (Uncaria gambir) Ethyl Acetate Extract on Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Cell (NIH-3T3) using MTT Assay

Farina Pramanik et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the cytotoxic activity of ethyl acetate extract of Gambier (GEE) on NIH-3T3 cell lines. The results showed that GEE at concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 250 ppm did not exhibit toxicity to the cells during 24-, 48-, and 72-hour incubation periods.

Microglia and monocytes in inflammatory CNS disease: integrating phenotype and function

Alanna G. Spiteri et al.

Summary: Microglia and monocytes play crucial roles in neurological diseases, but the lack of discriminating markers and experimental systems has historically hindered the precise definition of their roles. Recent advancements in single-cell technologies, new markers, and drugs have improved the ability to distinguish these cell types, yet limitations in focusing on specific cell types, diseases or experimental approaches have restricted the broader connections between phenotype and function.

Genetic dissection of non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa

Aarti Bhardwaj et al.

Summary: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a common form of inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by progressive vision loss. RP has genetic heterogeneity, making it difficult to determine the genetic cause in many cases. Understanding the genetic heterogeneity of RP is crucial for prognosis and proper management.

Martial Mbefo et al.

Summary: This research investigates the important roles of PRC1 and PRC2 in the degenerative process of multiple forms of IRD, revealing that the hyperactivity of EZH2 is closely associated with cell death processes and the absence of the H3K27me3 mark can serve as a biomarker for gene therapy treatment efficacy.

Spiking Characteristics of Network-Mediated Responses Arising in Direction-Selective Ganglion Cells of Rabbit and Mouse Retinas to Electric Stimulation for Retinal Prostheses

Yanjinsuren Otgondemberel et al.

Summary: The study characterized the electrically-evoked network-mediated responses of ON-OFF direction-selective (DS) RGCs in rabbit and mouse retinas for the first time. Different species showed strong negative correlations between spike counts of electric responses and direction selective indices, with some distinct differences between DS cells. Proper animal model selection is crucial in prosthetic researches as species-dependent retinal circuits may result in different electric response features.
