Summary
This paper discusses the use of Human Organotypic Retinal Cultures (HORCs) as a model to study retinal ganglion cell degeneration in glaucoma, and the effects of epigenetic regulation and mesenchymal stem cell derived growth factors on these cells.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the use of Human Organotypic Retinal Cultures (HORCs) as a model to study retinal ganglion cell degeneration, which is relevant to eye health as it is a key aspect of glaucoma.
Aging: The paper is relevant to aging as it discusses the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells, a process that can be accelerated by age-related diseases such as glaucoma.
