Retinal NeuroprotectionOur work seeks to develop novel neuroprotective approaches by better understanding the crosstalk that occurs in the immune-glia-neuron axis. Previously we have identified an interaction involving interleukin-signaling from microglia to astrocytes that protects retinal ganglion cells. A goal of our laboratory will be to identify neuroprotective targets at the level of glia-immune crosstalk to preserve neurons in models of retinal degenerations.
